I didn't ask, I just did it. :-) For the php-challenged, either of

------8<----- cut here ------8<-----
<?php if ($language == "fr") { ?>

Ceci n'est pas un MOTD.

<?php } elseif ($language == "de") { ?>

Dieses ist nicht ein MOTD.

<?php } elseif ($language == "it") { ?>

Ci&ograve; non &egrave; un MOTD.

<?php } else {  # default case ?>

This is the MOTD.

<?php } ?>
------8<----- cut here ------8<-----

or

------8<----- cut here ------8<-----
<?php

      if ($language == "fr") { echo "Ceci n'est pas un MOTD."; }
  elseif ($language == "de") { echo "Dieses ist nicht ein MOTD."; }
  elseif ($language == "it") { echo "Ci&ograve; non &egrave; un MOTD."; }
    else                     { echo "This is the MOTD."; }

?>
------8<----- cut here ------8<-----

should do the trick. (The second one's cleaner, IMO, but the first one
is easier to stick big chunks o' html into.)
