We use the technique described in the Audrey's doc in the RT project
and I can confirm that performance penalties from a business logic are
much bigger than added by localization calls. At least I've never seen
loc() on top places in results from a profiler. However for
micro-optimization I can suggest avoid <&|/l, $args...&>Single line of

small enough) overhead.> > > > > Baldvins quite right in that my earlier solution wasn't particularly good; > > you don't want to duplicate any work changing layout for each language you > > have. > > --paf > -- > --paf > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
