Hi All,

The only way that I can think of, to translate a full page is to use  
locale files as below but it seems impractical and incorrect to  
include huge chunks of static content in locale files. Could someone  
suggest a better way of translation pages with static content.

# config/locale/en.yml

en:  
terms\_conditions:  
paragraph1: “Terms and conditions para1”  
paragraph2: “Terms and conditions para 2”

how\_to:  
paragraph1: “How to para1”  
paragraph2: “How to para2”

# config/locale/ja.yml

ja:  
terms\_conditions:  
paragraph1: “e$B4A;z2\>L\>8r$8$jJ8e(B”  
paragraph2: “e$B%i%I%/%j%U!”%^%i%=%se(B"

how\_to:  
paragraph1: “e$B8^NXBeI=$Ke(B1e$BK|e(Bme$B=P\>l$K$b4^$\_e(B”  
paragraph2: “e$B7R$,$C$Fe(B or e$B$D$J$,$C$Fe(B”
