We here solve that by keeping different sets of template files for 
different languages.

It is not difficult to support parallel sets of text files using tools 
like meld, or vim -d, or kdiff3, or even DVCS (in fact, we support a 
small subset unique for each customer), and it is not always possible to 
just drop in translated text and still have convenient page layout. 
Apart from different lengths of the same phrase in different languages, 
there are business differences for different countries and cultures.

But yes, you can call ugettext/ungetttext in expressions.  Though I'm 
not sure if message extraction tools would process such files.

Best wishes,
