One more failed attempt
create $:/languages/ru-RU/plugins/vendor/plugin/Language/Node/Text with
translated text
create tiddler to hold translation macro
```
tags: $:/plugins/vendor/plugin/Macros
title: $:/plugins/vendor/plugin/Language
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
\define translate(path)
<$macrocall $name="_translate" language={{$:/language}} path="$path$"/>
\end
\define _translate(language, path)
{{$language$/plugins/vendor/plugin/Language/$path$}}
\end
```
It can be used as
```
<$importvariables filter="[tag[$:/plugins/vendor/plugin/Macros]]">
<<translate Note/Text>>
</$importvariables>
```
Again it cannot be used in widgets. Following will not work
```
<$importvariables filter="[tag[$:/plugins/vendor/plugin/Macros]]">
<$edit-text
tiddler="$:/temp/idea"
field="provisory_title"
placeholder=<<translate Note>>
tag="input" class="tw-edit-texteditor"/>
</$importvariables filter="[tag[$:/plugins/vendor/plugin/Macros]]">
```
Best regards,
