+# PHP I18n #

+
+## Introduction ##
+A brief summarization of what I18n is:
+
+> In computing, internationalization and localization (also spelled internationalisation and localisation, see spelling differences)
+> are means of adapting computer software to different languages and regional differences. Internationalization is the process of
+> designing a software application so that it can be adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes.
+> Localization is the process of adapting internationalized software for a specific region or language by adding locale-specific
+> components and translating text.
+> Source : [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalization_and_localization)
+
+This implementation is inspired and thus borrows heavily from Ruby on Rails' I18n.
+Ruby/Rails programming conventions have been maintained as much as possible. Deviation is due to language differences.
+
+## Minimum Requirements ##
+
+PHP 5.3+
+Symfony PEAR Yaml Parser
+
+## Installation ##
+
+Setup is very easy and straight-forward. Essentially, you have to point to the locales folder, and that's pretty much it.
+
+### Installing required PEAR package ###
+pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
+pear install symfony/YAML
+
+## Features ##
+
+- Internationalization similar to I18n found in Ruby on Rails I18n.
+
+## Usage ##
