Translations are powerfull building blocks which can be easily re-used over and over again. By creating parametrized Translations, the power increases even more; Translations will behave like functions, giving results based on the arguments passed. By scoping your Translations based on the hierarchy in the CMS and override existing global translations, a very powerfull mechanism is created for building sites.

Resolving translations in the rendering scope has always been one of the major features of the Smartsite Render Engine, even back to the old days.

A number of new features have been added since then, such as RenderTemplate-local translations (which override System (or ELBA building block)-translations), page translations (translations scoped to a page rendering), forcing global- or local scope, and sys.eval() overloads to pass in multiple resolving scopes to test for.
