Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:10 cohosh]:
 > It won't work right now because I need to hook up the .js fill function,
 but this is an idea of what it looks like:
 https://github.com/cohosh/snowflake/tree/ticket31384

 If you want to do it this way, I would suggest not doing
 {{{
 <h2>__MSG_browser__</h2>
 }}}
 but instead something like
 {{{
 <h2 data-msgid="__MSG_browser__">Browser</h2>
 }}}

 That way, a failure of the fill function, or a missing translation, will
 at least show English text rather than a raw message identifier. The
 [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Learn/HTML/Howto/Use_data_attributes data- attribute prefix] can
 be used to attach arbitrary information to HTML elements.

 {{{
           __MSG_either__<a
 href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/register">__MSG_createAccount__</a>
 __MSG_or__ <a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/login">log
 in</a>
           __MSG_usingShared__<b>cypherpunks</b> __MSG_withPassword__
 <b>writecode</b>.</li>
 }}}

 I'm guessing that this kind of structure will be difficult to translate
 because the translator cannot change the order of the `<a></a>` and
 `<b></b>` fragments. It may be better to allow HTML in the replacement
 strings.
