Should I translate my website? How do I do that? How do translators work? How do I work with translators? How do I make sure that the translations are correct? These questions and more will be the focus of this presentation. We'll look at CMSs in general and WordPress in particular. We'll look at PHP's gettext utilities and when (NOT) to use them.

Philipp gave an excellent talk on how the translation industry works and how we as PHP developers can use translation services, and what mistakes to look out for when adding multiple languages to a website.
He also gave an overview of some PHP technologies that can help manage multiple languages on a website, including Typo3 and several Wordpress plugins.
Thank you very much Philipp for sharing your knowledge and helping me to understand a topic that I previously knew nothing about!
