making html output “gettext”ed

Hi,

I am trying to build a multi-lingual blog but i’ve added some code and created a small plugin for it (Will release when final) but I need to know how can I get the following gettext’d so it can be translated into other languages. I am using language switch plugin for my multi-lingual plugin.

$html_output = ‘

• post_content . ‘”>’ . $external->post_title . ‘

‘;

For those who have never used language switcher before all you do is wrang english content in [lang_en]english content[/lang_en] and say french content in [lang_fr]French Content[/lang_fr] what’s happening is the code i pasted above is not translating and the [lang_xx] is being displayed because my line is not “filtered”.

Any tips are helpful.

Thanks

Trevor
