I have used the language text files approach, but I've stopped doing that since it turned out to be a bit messy. The people editing the language text files tended to stuff html into the strings ("This is an error message, so it should be red."). Also, when they wanted to add some text to the page they just put it in the template file, making the language file semi-obsolete.
Of course, if you are the only one who is going to be doing the editing, I guess you are not likely to run into the above problems, so go right ahead. :-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
