Description:
------------
It you set up a string as the number zero (as you may well need to translate numbers to arabic), doing a get for this string brings back nothing. I'm guessing that the dreaded 'empty()' function is being used to test for blank strings, which the number 0 falls foul of, even though it's not an empty string.

Test script:
---------------
-- XML file --

<translation2>
<languages>
<lang id="en">
<name> english </name>
<meta> Some meta info here </meta>
<error_text> not available </error_text>
<encoding> iso-8859-1 </encoding>
</lang>
<pages>
<page key="test">
<string key="zero">
<tr lang="en"> 0 </tr>
</string>
</page>
</pages>
</translation2>

-- code --

$trans =& Translation2::factory('XML', array('filname' => 'test.xml'));
print "[" . $trans->get('zero', 'test') . "]";

Expected result:
----------------
Prints:

[0]

Actual result:
--------------
Prints:

[]

Sorry to open this one up again, but I've upgraded to Beta10 and the problem still exists.
