Ideally (from a usability pov), a variant="something" argument to T(), I
suppose. But I can't think of a non-messy way to do it.
How about something like this:
T('string to translate [[VARIANT something]]')
T('string to translate [[VARIANT something else]]')
If there's no translation in effect, then [[VARIANT .*?]] *$ gets stripped from
the string. Otherwise it's part of the lookup. It could just be
[[something]]
[[something else]]
...keeping in mind that if you really wanted that at the end of a T() string,
you could write:
T('blah blah [[blah]][[]]')
...and only the trailing [[]] would be stripped.
BTW, there's a typo in languages.py:
# patter for a valid accept_language
(and the pattern could use a comment or three)
