in reply to Language or string templates?
In this case, $GLOBALS is an example of a Phrasebook (pattern or paradigm or whatever). Theres a large amount of various material on the web and more specifically on cpan discussing phrasebooks and implementing them. Theres also several nodes on Perlmonks.
Generally people tend to apply Phrasebooks to SQL dialects, but theres no real reason that you couldn't use them for language strings. I would suspect language-specific Phrasebooks would only suffice for the must simplistic systems, where you have a very tiny amount of text to actually modify. I would think that in a larger system you would be better off just having multiple templates, one for each language, or perhaps a language template and a style template.
