Hmmm. Assumption, there: why do you have a "translator"? Why try to
make the php intelligent? Surely a dumb "does the author say this is
english? then show it to the english guy" would be easier? Or is that
what you mean?

And as far as it goes, if you just heave out the numbers altogether
for internal searching, then it removes a whole world of hurt...
Although I'm not sure if that's entirely wholesome for when someone
explicitly asks for quake3... blaggle. My brain hurts.
