What about setting up a localizer velocity tool helper class that handles 
this for you?

] $localizer = ... helper tool with user defined locale ...// this is done 
while setting up the context
] 
] Description: $localizer.get($product.description)
] Title: $localizer.get($product.title)

Or if you wanted to get the localization completely out of the template, use

] Description: $product.localeDescription
] Title: $product.localeTitle

and have those two methods directly call the localizer helper class.


Note that this is actually a question about the use of velocity and not the 
development of velocity, so I've changed the destination mailing list from 
velocity-dev@jakarta.apache.org to velocity-user@jakarta.apache.org
