As far at the i18n goes, I'd recommend using Locale::Maketext::Extract, which I recommend not because I'm the maintainer, but because it is good! I became the maintainer BECAUSE it is good and I wanted to make it better.
i18n is complex, and Locale::Maketext adds the flexibility to solve issues like (eg) multiple forms of plural, differing word orders etc, while Locale::Maketext::Lexicon and its companion Locale::Maketext::Extract (with xgettext.pl) makes it easy:
- for your translators, because everything gets dumped to a .PO file, which they can edit with (eg) poEdit, and
- for your programmers, because it'll parse your Perl code, templates and YAML and pull out the latest versions of strings that need translating -> less maintenance
To get an idea of how it all works, read (in order):

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
