Assigning a Gettext String to a Class

Question

I am making a website that will be translated into x languages.

All lines must be localized.

There are cases when I need to display the name of the language, the name of the country or other information received from the database. The data considered in this way will rarely be changed - as above, I'm talking about the names of languages, countries, etc.

In this example, I use an array that stores the languages ​​into which the site's user interface has been translated. To allow name wrapping (used for header text when the "change language" flag / link hangs), I have an array like *:

Array("zh_CN" => _("Chinese - Simplified"), "en_GB" => _("English"));

I use them to get the corresponding name string for a given language.

I am currently using a global array:

$global_langNames = Array("zh_CN" => _("Chinese - Simplified"), "en_GB" => _("English"));

Using:

global $global_langNames;

echo $global_langNames[$code]; // $code = 'zh_CN'

Output (locale = en_GB):

Chinese simplified

(locale = zh_CN):

简体 中文

( ) , , , PHP :

class constants_lang{

 private static $langNames = Array("zh_CN" => _("Chinese - Simplified"), "en_GB" => _("English"));

 static function getLangName($code){
  return self::$langNames($code);
 }

}

     public static function getLangNameFromCode($code)
     {
          if(self::isStatic()){
               $langNamesFromCode = self::initLangNamesFromCode();
               return $langNamesFromCode[$code];
          }
          else{
               return $this->langNamesFromCode[$code];
          }

     private static function isStatic()
