Gettext for HTML or LaTeX?

Question

Is there something like gettextfor HTML or LaTeX? It would be great to create simple bilingual web pages or LaTeX documents that should be synchronized. Already have something like that? I think there must be some Perl script for this, but I could not find it. :-)

Thanks!

Answer 1

Probably not. Translation software is problematic due to differences in connotation and grammar from language to language. I would suggest (although I never used gettext) that gettext might work fine for short lines, but for a complete document you will certainly run into problems.
