(please wrap your lines at ~72 chars)

Yes, that's a problem in the way ZPT i18n has been designed for
attributes.

There have been some propositions to change the syntax of
i18n:attributes to work around that, for instance (IIRC):

  i18n:attributes="value themsgid; alt altmsgid"

See the ZPT list about that.
