[stringtemplate-interest] deployment question

Just curious to see if StringTemplate can solve a particular deployment 
requirement I have on a project.  Currently we host a repository full of 
Velocity templates that our clients download and use within software 
installed on their computers.  We are now getting ready to add 
muti-language support to these templates.  I would like to maintain one 
copy of each template and simply externalize all the language elements 
into resource files.  At deployment time I would like to preprocess the 
templates into one repository per supported language.  So all we have to 
do is maintain one template, and one resource file per language.  The 
problem is that the templates are velocity templates.  If I use velocity 
to preprocess the templates to add the language support, I will also 
inadvertently affect the template variables that have nothing to do with 
language support.  I just thought I would post this question on the off 
chance that StringTemplate has some type of facility for this, or that 
someone might have a solution.

Thanks
