Stacking Translations

Hi

Just wanted to get some feedback on ways to stack
translations.

The scenario is we have one core Translation file - getText

This contains generic translation strings that are present
in all sites 
and modules

Want I want though is to then create a translation file with
specific 
site strings and then more with specific module strings.

so at any one time there will be three loaded translation
files

CORE always on

SITE - always on

MODULE - optional only when they enter module.

Anyone doing anything like this now, any gems of wisdom and
optimisation 
techniques I should be lookiing for.

Cheers

Ian

Ok If I right a plugin:

     public function
preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
     {
         Zend_Debug::dump($request, null, false);

         // Setup the Language element
         $translate_module = new Zend_Translate('gettext',
'modules/' . 
$request->getParam('module') . '/locale/en.mo', 'en');
     }

How do I pass this new translation for use in the
controllers - or do I 
just register this in the registry and then call back?

Cheers

ian

You could register it in Zend_Registry or you could do
$request->setParam() to assign the translation object to
each request.
The request object is available in all controllers.
