+From [[Recai]]:
+> Here is my initial work on ikiwiki l10n infrastructure (I'm sending it
+> before finalizing, there may be errors).
+
+I've revised the patches (tested OK):
+
+- $config{lang} patch:
+
+    <http://people.debian.org/~roktas/patches/ikiwiki/ikiwiki-lang.diff>
+
+  + Support for CGI::FormBuilder.
+  + Modify Makefile.PL for l10n.
+
+- l10n infrastructure from Koha project.  (This patch must be applied with
+  '-p1', also, it needs a 'chmod +x l10n/*.pl' after patching.)
+
+  + Leave templates dir untouched, use a temporary translations directory
+    instead.
+  + Fix Makefile (it failed to update templates).
+
+    http://people.debian.org/~roktas/patches/ikiwiki/ikiwiki-l10n.diff

+However...
+
+> fine.  Also a final note, I haven't examined the quality of generated
+> templates yet.
+
+Looks like, tmpl_process3 cannot preserve line breaks in template files.
+For example, it processed the following template:
+
+    Someone[1], possibly you, requested that you be emailed the password for
+user
+    <TMPL_VAR USER_NAME> on <TMPL_VAR WIKINAME>[2].
+
+    The password is: <TMPL_VAR USER_PASSWORD>
+
+    --
+    ikiwiki
+
+    [1] The user requesting the password was at IP address <TMPL_VAR
+REMOTE_ADDR>
+    [2] Located at <TMPL_VAR WIKIURL>
+
+as (in Turkish):
+
+Birisi[1], ki muhtemelen bu sizsiniz, <TMPL_VAR WIKINAME>[2] üzerindeki
+<TMPL_VAR USER_NAME> kullanıcısına ait parolanın epostalanması isteğinde
+bulundu. Parola: <TMPL_VAR USER_PASSWORD> -- ikiwiki [1] Parolayı isteyen
+kullanıcının ait IP adresi: <TMPL_VAR REMOTE_ADDR>[2] <TMPL_VAR WIKIURL>

+This could be easily worked around in tmpl_process3, but I wouldn't like to
+maintain a separate utility.

+
+As to the hardcoded strings in ikiwiki, I've internationalized the program,
+and there is a po/ikiwiki.pot in the source that can be translated.
