Just wondering, is it possible to have Therion interpret multi-lingual strings in 'code metapost' in much the same way as it does in layouts and scraps? Eg label.bot(thTEX( "<lang:en>Original Scale 1 : <lang:de>Originalmassstab = 1 : " & decimal (Scale*100)),(0,-tmph)); The above, as I expected, it evaluates to the entire long string, but it would be nice to have it evaluate just to the language that the user selects.
