Alternative/new strings system

[Andrez]

Internationalization sucks, that's a matter of fact, so I was thinking of a system like this to implement complete self-standing strings instead of linking existing ones, because you realize that neo-latin languages don't absolutely work like English/German. So I found this on the internet:

Spoiler

[SELECT ALL] Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <fstream>

int main(){
    //load the text file and put it into a single string:
    std::ifstream in("language_strings.txt");
    std::stringstream buffer;
    buffer << in.rdbuf();
    std::string test = buffer.str();
    std::cout << test << std::endl << std::endl;

    //create variables that will act as "cursors". we'll take everything between them.
    size_t pos1 = 0;
    size_t pos2;

    //create the array to store the strings.
    std::string str[4];

    for (int x=0; x<=3; x++){
        pos2 = test.find("|", pos1); //search for the bar "|". pos2 will be where the bar was found.
        str[x] = test.substr(pos1, (pos2-pos1)); //make a substring, wich is nothing more
                                              //than a copy of a fragment of the big string.
        std::cout << str[x] << std::endl;
        pos1 = pos2+1; // sets pos1 to the next character after pos2.
                         //so, it can start searching the next bar |.
    }
}

This script basicly reads strings (separated by a "|") from a plain .txt and stores them in an array. Pretty simple for those who are active in C++. Can't we use this system to output ingame statements that are read by this file, so that anyone can translate much easier in their language?

Please note that I'm really starting C++-ing, so that's my raw idea.
