David,

I recently had to do some work with our companies meeting room booking
system, which was originally based on the open source PHP based MRBS
project that's out there somewhere.

For their internationalization they had used separate include files for
each language, with the correct one being included at runtime based on
the users language.

Each of the language files basically just built the same associative
array but with the correct translations for that language.  The required
language file does get read with every page load, but this seems to take
no time whatsoever.

Hope this helps... it is my first post to this list :)
