T2's token parsing, AFAICS, is not configurable. * T1 uses multiple hierarchial Resource Bundles; T2 uses a single xml file - I can see merits in both approach. * T1 supports translation of just those files that need to be updated (based on timestamps, like ). In its current state, T2 doesn't seem to. There may be other minor differences as well - I don't yet know. But let me ask this: Since the only significant difference really seems to be the way the translation text is submitted, would it be possible for you to refactor both these tasks so that we end up with one single task that can be configured using XML files or Resource Bundles, retaining the values provided by both these tasks? If it doesn't seem feasible, then, perhaps we can provide your task too, as an alternative... > > __TRANS(welcome)

Using T1, this would be like:

<a href= #welcome#/></a></td>
