This is why I use gettext (or faster_gettext): the phrases themselves
*are* the keys, so the views look like
_('Welcome to the site, %{user}!') % {:user => user}
rather than
get_message(:site_welcome_message, user)
This way, the view files stay legible, and the application is usable
even if no locale is set. The translations go in .po files, which are
an industry standard, and so translators and CAT software can be
expected to know what to do with them.

PO files are meant to deal with arbitrarily long strings of text.
Again, the gettext solution is best here.
Best,
