Hello Peter,

information about Mapbender internationalisation you can find at [1]

Information about SwitchLocale_noreload you can find at [2].

In the mapbender.conf you can define a LANGUAGE variable as default 
language.  This  information is also saved in the  session-file as 
$_SESSION["mb_lang"].

To create new languages you have to do twoi things:
1. add the new language entries to the table mb_translations (this is 
used for toolstips and the titles of the div tags)
2. create a new .po file (this is used for the translations of the  
modules (f.e. the print module). Have a look at [3].
3. check the file classes/class_locale.php - make sure that you locale 
is refered here. Compile the .mo file

There are already translations for some languages (Table translations: 
bg,de,es,gr,it,nl / po-files for bg,de,fr,gr,it). If you do some more 
translations, it would be nice, if you could give your translations back 
to the Mapbender project so we could integrate them to the code.
