Yes but...
If you do something like
{{for record in db(...).select():}}{{=T(record.field}}{{pass}}
you get a lot of data added dynamically to the translation files. It
may slow down your app if the db data changes often. It may also
result in lots of data not being translated.
Two options are 1) have different record in db for different languages
are do not use T 2) use plugin_translate
