-Hmm, I've thought on this issue.  Using Locale::gettext seems to be the
-natural solution.  But this would need to create another po file and also,
-ikiwiki would depend another Perl module.  Kinda overkill...
-
-I have another idea...  What about to create another (flat) template file
-for this sort of strings?  Something like strings.tmpl with the content:
-
-    Save Page, Preview, Cancel
-
-or we could categorize these strings in some variables (',' is the
-delimiter for this code snippet):
-
-    <TMPL_IF NAME="BUTTONS">
-    Save Page, Preview, Cancel
-    </TMPL_IF>
-
-and then (preferably in a separate wrapper function in CGI.pm):
-
-     my $template=template("strings.tmpl");
-     $template->param("BUTTONS", 1);
-     my @buttons=split(/\s*,\s*/, $template->output);
-
-You get the idea...  I've tried this method.  All in one po file, kind of
-ugly, but it _really_ works.

 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.
