Hi Henrique

Thanks for your reply, but ...

it doesn't work either. Have you tested this? Anyway, I reduced the case 
to this:

<html>
   <body tal:omit-tag=""
        tal:define="domain python:request.get('domain','JMGui')">
     <div tal:replace="domain"/>
     <h2 i18n:domain="JMMessages" i18n:translate="">Wrong selection</h2>
     <h2 tal:attributes="i18n:domain domain;
                         i18n:translate string:">Wrong selection</h2>
   </body>
</html>

With the browser's language set to german and calling the template like 
this: http://myurl/zptTemplate?domain=JMMessages

I get:

JMMessages
Ungültige Auswahl
Wrong selection

So, the alternative you propose didn't execute the i18n directives, but 
they are rendered in the html, which isn't really desired. This is what 
you get when looking at the html source:

<html><head></head><body>JMMessages
     <h2>Ungültige Auswahl</h2>
     <h2 i18n:domain="JMMessages" i18n:translate="">Wrong selection</h2>

</body></html>

So, I guess the "tal:attributes" directive only makes sense for real 
html attributes and not for zpt directives (somebody correct me if I'm 
wrong).
