Is it possible to translate cities as normal text without duplicating any table on the DB and only add the cities and their translations to .po here is a loop to list all the cities
<select name="sCity" class="selectar" id="Scity">
<option value=""><?php _e('Select a city...')?></option>
<?php foreach($aCities as $city) { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $city['s_name'] ; ?>"><?php echo $city['s_name'] ; ?></option>
<?php } ?>
I tried this but didn't work
sprintf(__('%s'), $city['s_name']);
