[TYPO3] Translate static template parts

I have that problem as well. There are a few tricks you can use to work 
around this. One trick is to use "pseudo pages" for some things. This is 
what I use for strange menus and sometimes for labels as well. However, 
in some cases you might not get around setting up your template 
differently in several language blocks like this

[globalVar = GP:L = 1]
page.10.subparts.logoWithLabel.file = 
fileadmin/templates/images/logo_chinese.gif
[END]

[globalVar = GP:L = 2]
page.10.subparts.logoWithLabel.file = 
fileadmin/templates/images/logo_japanese.gif
[END]

I hate this method and try to avoid it wherever possible but in some 
cases you just can't work around this it seems. :-(

Cheers,
Christian
