in reply to Perl Programs That Support Multiple (Human) Languages
you only scratched the surface of the problem because
you eventually want your strings to have variable parts. And
in different languages theses parts will be assembled in different orders so printf is of no help here. The library gettext helps you to handle that (as you mentionned) and the good news is: it seems to be supported by a Perl wrapper:
