nationalise your site with enlisted variables

With drupal we can enable the locale module and install the i18n module to internationalise and translate our site we can make our hands dirty by visiting the http://build2be.com/admin/build/translate/search.

Still our work is not finished yet. We have to dive into settings.php to translate more strings of our site.

Taken from http://drupal.org/node/275705#comment-1058360 and using http://drupal.org/projects/drush_sm we learn we may choose from a lot of variables.
