Some cool ideas from Eric and Lee, although this:
[% lh.maketext('Great googly moogly, why did you kill me [_1]?', you) %]
Kinda rubs me the wrong way because it seems like *another* language ;)
As an exercise I wonder how many lanugages are needed to render the
above... PERL, probably SQL, TT, Maketext, HTML, likely CSS and/or
Javascript, not to mention English! Horror.
Anyway... what would be really cool is if some of the people here using
TT in i18n-type contexts could describe how and what they are doing
because I am for sure going to have to do this in the next months and
I'd like to pick from the genius of others :)
So in addition to the methods from Eric:

and Lee:

there's also this from PM: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=466269
Also in this PM thread are some great approaches too.
I hope this helps somebody looking for these solutions.
