I also use Locale::Maketext, but I see I have my own
failure_handler_auto() method with a note about two RT tickets (33938
and 25877).  On lookup failure I log the failure and fallback to
English.

For simple phrases I use loc( 'Text to localize' ).

When the application determines a valid language I also prefix the
INCLUDE_PATH with an additional path.  So, that will override my
default English templates.

Those language-specific directories only contain small templates with
language differences. That way I don't have to duplicate template
logic unless there's significant difference in the requirements
between languages.
