[Petal] i18n:name - How do I use it

[Mark Holland]

Hi Joachim,

You need to to use i18n:name in conjunction with a petal:content 
statement. This will interpolate the contents of the tag with the string 
store in your pot file. So in your template you have:

<p i18n:translate="">First we want to test <span style="font-style: 
italic;" i18n:name="username" petal:content="user/name">Name</span>.</p>

Petal will first go through the template and evaluate all petal: 
attributes. The output at this point will look like:

<p i18n:translate="">First we want to test <span style="font-style: 
italic;" i18n:name="username">Joachim</span>.</p>

Then Petal::I18N will go and process the i18n: attributes, giving you:

<p>First we want to test <span 
style="font-style:italic;">Joachim</span>.</p>

or in german:

<p>Zuerst wollen wir <span style="font-style:italic;">Joachim</span> 
testen.</p>

I hope this makes sense.

Viel spass,
~mark
