When you are heading for the problem that "Title" can hold different content
based on a selection and not based on a locale then you are not heading for
translation.
Translation means that the same key is always translated the same when the
locale is identical.
What you describe is not translation but a sort of selection.
Translation is not captable to solve this out of the box.
Still it would be possible:
Load your application wide translations within your bootstrap and cache
them.
Then add translations by your model but dont cache them.
But this would only work if you don't load 2 models at the same time when
they use the same selection.
In the latter case you would have to use multiple instances.

You should use one application wide instance which holds your
translations.
You can add translations manually (addTranslation) when you splitted them
model-based.
Or do you think that "Enter your name" is different between models ?
It's always the same translation regardless of the model behind.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for you fast answer! What you mean are things I manage inside my view
(I agree "enter your name" is a more global managed translation). I mean the
models I fetch from db. E.g. having a blog post. That's a model
Blog_Model_Post, having a title, lead and body text. All three are
translated.
Ideal, I'd like to have in my view "echo $blog->getTitle()" and the model
itself fetches the right translation of the title. Therefore, it has some
translation logic inside. But for every model the translation of "title" is
completely different, so having the same instance is not possible.
What's you opinion about these more "dynamic" translations fetched from the
database?
Thanks in advance,
Jurian
