Its just a method call with a sprinf-ish bracket notation that has, in
practice, efficiently and completely allowed us to create things that
support dozens of languages *very* simply.
It's actually a simple elegant solution to localization, see
Local::Maketext or details.
Trust me, you thank me later :)

This makes no sense, substitute 'maketext' for 'gettext', or 'some
plugin' etc: it *is* one more thing: localization support.
Depending on where you want it to render this is true of anything,
you'll have localize it somehow...
You might as well include Assembly code, C, Apache, Linux, etc since
those are also involved.
Locale::Maketext is excellent, in fact major software uses it, For
example cPanel will be using it soon:
http://www.cpanel.net/conference/08/files/Localization.pdf
(might want to read over that as it show's examples of why its great,
has TT example and compares it to gettext)
