Zend Framework

I've been playing around with Zend_Form and Zend Framework 1.5 these last couple of days. Like most people I hade some trouble getting used to the decorator part of the form API. Decorators are used to style form elements for rendering in the browser, adding tags before, after and wrapping the form element itself.

There's a lot more to localizing a web site then just replacing strings with diffrent languages (for an exelent introduction read the ZF documentation on Zend_Locale). But in this post I will talk about string localization, and especially string localization using gettext and .mo-files with Zend Framework.
