When encountering the same questions, we had to take a totally different
solution in the project I'm currently in. All translatable strings are
put in {t}...{/t} tags, which are then being given to gettext. Anyway,
we couldn't implement this as a block function, since smarty returns
it's data parsed to the block function (making it impossible to embed
smarty syntax). We are now using a system that precompiles the templates
for each language (not the most ideal way), but the only simple way to
do it.
