Hi,

Thank you for the great code and I have some questions when using erlydtl. I use the latest code on github.

1) to trans a variable, I tried many ways but only the second works:

code:

when edit = Edit

1 {{ edit }}

2 {% trans "Edit" %}

3 {% trans edit %}

4 {{ _( edit ) }}

5 {% blocktrans with e = edit %} {{ edit }} {% endblocktrans %}

output:

1 Edit
2 编辑
3 Edit
4 Edit
5 Edit

2) Is it possible to use extends and include with variables?

Thanks.

Are you passing the data in as a string? If it is a binary it might
not get translated with the default machinery.

No -- extends and include are evaluated at compile-time so you can't
use variables here.
