Ok, but what about the practical implementation ? Do we specify a bit which
determines the kind of text : plain text or messagetrans tag and define a
path where the template, euh sorry, Glass editor can find the messagetrans
files ? Or do we define more explicitly in the Glass file which languages
are supported with explicit filenames (instead of a path) ?

I hope we never *have to* deal with messagetrans tags ourselves.  Automatic
generation of such tags would be very helpful.
