[Templates] i18n with Template-Toolkit (localization, internationalization, multiple languages, multilingual)

[Ayhan Ulusoy]

Thank you very much for your responses.

A question comes to my mind.  How do you harvest (extract) the  
messages from the templates into a PO or (POT) file? Do you have to do  
that manually?

I've seen a module on CPAN called Locale::Maketext::Extract which  
comes with a command line utility called "xgettext.pl". This module  
extracts strings from various file formats (Perl, TT, Mason, ...) and  
puts them in a PO file. In its documentation, it says that :

Template Toolkit

     Strings inside [%|l%]...[%END%] or [%|loc%]...[%END%] are  
extracted.


That looks like "loc" would have to be a TT filter for that to work.  
What do you think?

Another question => You say that the folllowing would work as well:

> [% loc('some message') %]
> [% 'some message' | loc %]


Is "loc" an exported function in that case?  Which module exports it  
then?  Besides, how does "loc" know which language handle to use? I am  
perplexed...


Cheers,
Ayhan
