embedded php in a template...

hi list -

seems there is a GNU extension for handling text translation strings...

is there a high-performance way to call out to this from within smarty
templates?
eg inside a template i need to call php.

instead of
--------
name: {$userName}

all i can immediately think of is passing in a php object to smarty
that can access the gettext function... but this takes a lot of space
+ I'm sure has call overhead:

{$phpObj->getText("name")}  {$userName}

is ther a way to do a smarty filter that you can pass in a string (not
a variable) to ?

{ "userName"|getText }

i cant really think of a good way of combining smarty + php ...

tx,

/dc
