[TYPO3] localized labels in template

[Peter Klein]

Hi Oleg. You could use CONSTANTS, and install the extension "Constant 
Editor" (NOT the same as the build-in Constant 
Editor!!)http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/search/constant_editor/0.1.4/

Using that, you can create special constants that non-admin users have 
access to changing..
