You may want to check out PEAR::Translation2 
(http://pear.php.net/package/Translation2). It doesn't actually take 
care of managing the translation strings but it does provide a nice 
consistent interface. You can swap out different backends to find the 
one you like best without having to change your code that much. Plus the 
different decorators make it easy to add features without affecting the API.
