About formFu as a plugin in Catalyst

aftershock has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I use FormFu as a plugin in Catalyst. I ran into some problems.
How can I localize the title attribute in a form?

Suppose you have something like that in a yml file where a form is defined.

- type: Checkbox
            name: generate_invoice
            label_loc: generate invoice
            attributes:
              title: select this and you will generate invoice
[download]

I would like title to be translated into any language as label_loc is translated
if FormFu plugin is configured proplery.
title_loc is not the solution. Do you know a solution?

title_loc is not the solution. Do you know a solution? Patch HTML::FormFu::Attribute/HTML::FormFu::Element::_Group/... to allow for title_loc or attrs_loc or both Or use content_loc, it works right now `- type: Block content_loc: name_of_the_loc_key` [download] where in a Locale::Maketext subclass, in %Lexicon, `name_of_the_loc_key => q~<input name="generate_invoice" type="checkbo +x" value="1" title="select this and you will generate invoice" />,;` [download] I think FormFu definitely needs to adress this , and do a better job; you should submit a report. I also think tooltips(title) are sometimes erroneously used as a substitute for labels. Labels belong in a regular view, tooltips belong in a mini view.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
