Translate javascript:sortList

[afonseca]

Hi all

I need help.
I have a little code that prints a menu with a list of options to order results:

Order by: Title
Author
Date
...

The code is this:

----------------------------------------------------------------
</td><td align="right"><span class="default">Order by: </span>
<select class="default" name="order_by" onchange="javascript:sortList(this.form, 'order_by');">
{html_options options=$order_by_list selected=$order_by_default}
</select>
----------------------------------------------------------------

I can't rename the database, so I need a simple way to pick the variable and translate it to Portuguese and print
instead of the english name.
In other words, how can I translate the variables in order to get a result like this:



Order by: Titulo
Autor
Data
...


Tanks in advance
