localization/internationalization support generally runs unter the name L10N and I18N. Under Linux the gnu library gettext provides functions to translate strings from one language into other languages through a pregenerated database

In perl the library can be accessed through Locale::gettext for example. Another approach would be Locale::Maketext, the reasons for this more programmatic approach are detailed in Locale::Maketext::TPJ13

If you are lucky and have only fixed strings you could pregenerate the templates after any change to the templates, but normally you would have to add the translate step to your templating

PS: There is HTML::Template::Compiled::Plugin::I18N

UDPATE: You migh also want to read http://rassie.org/archives/247 for a critique of the Maketext approach

UPDATE: As dsheroh rightly commented it should be L10N, not I10N

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
