I use Template-Toolkit for the web and I am quite happy with it. Now,
I will have to come up with a way to render the template in multiple
languages.
I've looked at several CPAN modules such as i18n and
Locale::Maketext::Lexicon, . Both function with lexicons and both use
PO files. i18n is a Perl source filter that wraps around the latter.
And they seem to be very good when you deal with strings from within a
Perl program.
But what about Template-Toolkit?
Would any of you know of a cool way of doing this just like i18n does
for Perl? Is there a Plugin or a filter for Template-Toolkit?
I've seen a plugin Template::Multilingual, but it doesn't seem to fit
my needs, because I would NOT like to write text in multiple languages
in one Template file. This is not practical for transaltions and
maintenance.
I would not like to fetch the strings from the database either,
because this obfuscates the strings
In an ideal world, would like someting just like i18n for Template-
Toolkit. The original text should reside in the template itslef while
the translations would come from a PO file or something similar. There
would be very little line noise in the Template file. Therefore a
source filter would be good.
Would anyone know of a simple and practical solution for this? A
Template-Toolkit filter perhaps?
Your help would be greatly appreciated here.
Cheers,
Ayhan (trinculo)
