Localization

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Could you please add support for localization? 

You could add "/* l18n */" after each string that should get localized, so it 
would be easier to find them. If you created a wiki-page, I'd add my l18n for 
german.

The exceptions thrown by LightOpenID are intended for programmers using the 
library. You should catch them and then report them to the user.

While documenting them may be a good idea, I see no point in adding i18n 
support.
By the way, you probably mean internationalization (i18n), not localization 
(l10n).

Also, I've just noticed that LightOpenID forwards curl errors as exceptions if 
there are any, so it's not even possible to provide i18n for them.

Oh, I thought the exceptions were for the user. I should probably read 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.exceptions.php and 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.exception.php

At the moment, I use this code-structure:
try {
    [OpenID-related code, just like in the example]
} catch(ErrorException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

As my users are more likely to be able to understand German than English, 
should I use a structure like this:
try {
    [OpenID-related code, just like in the example]
} catch(ErrorException $e) {
    switch($e->getCode()){
        catch 0:
            echo "My error-message in german.";
            break;
        catch 1:
            echo "Another translated error message.";
            break;
        default:
            echo $e->getMessage();
    }
}

Oh, thanks for the hint. Yes, I ment i18n.

This enhancement can be closed.

By the way, how can I submit Enhancements? I can't see any way to set the 
Priority or the Type of a bug.

Apparently, people who are not project members can't submit issues with labels, 
and I can't change it anywhere (according to 
http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/Permissions). That's not a big problem 
though, since I label the issue correctly when I answer anyway.
