I wasn't familiar with that. I've been out reading anything I can find in
search results and I think you're right. I thought templates would be an
efficient way to maintain different languages served by CGIs.

I'm sorry if I'm straying from the charter of this mailing list. But,

Do you know of any tutorials, books or how-tos explaining the use of gettext
in CGIs? For example, are the different locale headings determined
automatically by the server (from something the browser sends reflecting the
user's settings?) Or, is it customary to ask the user and do gettext based
upon their answer?

Thanks!
