aulusoy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hello Monks, I use Template-Toolkit for the web and I am quite happy with it. Now, I will have to come up with a way to render the template in multiple languages. I've looked at several CPAN modules such as i18n and Locale::Maketext::Simple. Both function with lexicons and both use PO files. i18n is a Perl source filter that wraps around the latter. And they seem to be very good when you deal with strings from within a Perl program. But what about Template-Toolkit? Would any of you know of a cool way of doing this just like i18n does for Perl? Is there a Plugin or a filter for Template-Toolkit? I've seen a plugin Template::Multilingual, but it doesn't seem to fit my needs, because I would NOT like to write text in multiple languages in one Template file. This is not practical for transaltions and maintenance. I would not like to fetch the strings from the database either, because this obfuscates the strings In an ideal world, would like someting just like i18n for Template-Toolkit. The original text should reside in the template itslef while the translations would come from a PO file or something similar. There would be very little line noise in the Template file. Therefore a source filter would be good. Would anyone know of a simple and practical solution for this? A Template-Toolkit filter perhaps? Your help would be greatly appreciated here. Cheers, Ayhan (trinculo)
