http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Internationalizations is a start.
Basically PmWiki maintains a phrase translation table, where anything
that appears in $[...] is a "phrase".  Thus, when PmWiki encounters
something like $[some phrase], it checks the current translation table
to find the translation of "some phrase" in the current language setting.
If no such phrase exists, then "some phrase" is used directly.

The XLPage() function is the normal mechanism for loading 
phrase translations from a wiki page, and one can use the XLSDVA() 
function to load phrase translations from within a php script.
