First syntax has obvious advantages for large boilerplate texts which we do not want to chop in perverse ways. However, it is too verbose for short strings and unintuitive for parametric calls. | First syntax has obvious advantages for large boilerplate texts which we do not want to chop in perverse ways.

; <tt>template/<i>LANG</i>/{default,custom}/*.po</tt> : Advantages: site and project level customizations possible. Drawbacks: need to iterate through multiple '''.po''' files to merge the lexicon; unneeded exposure to http server. | |||
; <tt>po/<i>LANG</i>.po</tt> : Why not create a separate dir? | |||
