> Of course... so, '''because''' it is not for dynamic translations,
'''it's a problem''' to do it if the only way that the framework offers to
do is using gettext.
You're basically trying to justify a new feature by saying the existing
feature doesn't cover your use case, which is a moot point in my opinion.
> This is why I believe a backend system would help a lot, because who
want to work with non-static translations (and at the level of model
objects) can avoid gettext and use database or cache to do it.
Right, I don't quite understand what you mean by backend system though. An
explanation (on the mailing list) might help to clarify what you mean. The
big issue I see here (at least from what I understand) is that content
translation and translation of UI elements are completely different
stories because the way those content types differ in structure and
storage. Adding a backend system implies having a common API, but I don't
see any. Can you elaborate?
> I know that gettext is mature and fast, yet a limited sollution.
It's not limited but really just not supposed to be used like you use.
