I have a project which involves some HTML pages that need to be translated into multiple langauges. The project is Perl CGI built around FastTemplate and mysql.

What I would like is this:

• get a static page broken up, replace text with tags, put tags in db
• make html forms that offer the text blocks (say between <p> tags up for translation.
• the resulting content can then be either generated dynamically from teh db, or regenerate static pages

Doesn't actually sound too hard to code, but it's one of those things that should really exist already ... of course with nice utf8 froms and everything ...

any pointers as to the closest match that is already available out there?

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
