Maybe I've missed something but my interpretation of your problem is that you want to add variable content into a translation string for an attribute.
How about something like: <div i18n:attributes="title" title="titleTranslationKey"> <tal:block i18n:name="maxFilesize" tal:content="uploadMaxHumanFilesize" /> </div> with a po file (assuming you are using gettext) of: msgid "titleTranslationKey" msgstr "Drop photo to upload (max ${maxFilesize} MB)" I am assuming here that the i18n:name key/value pairs are available for attribute translation in the same way they would be for content translation but I haven't seen why that wouldn't be the case.
