SV: [SMARTY] Internationalization

Hi,
I'm not sure this is an answer to your question, however this is what I'm
doing, and you might get some idea, or the other way around:
I wanted to have a parallel tree for the different language versions.
Based on the url the DB returns a specific content_id and based on a session
var the content_id requests english, danish or whater language text.
Doing so I have only one tree.
Then the problem was that different language versions may very well require
small changes to the template. Like you I wanted to use the same basic
templates.
For instance some language may not have some functionality available, then I
must not show the corresponding links or boxes.
For every piece of design corresponding to things that might be different in
the different languages I design subtemplates to be included (or not).
These are fetched by a db resource handler. That is, these are not files but
DB records. In this way they get only included if they are defined in the
database as part of that language implementation.
