You can use the [L] [/L] within components; all you have to do is 
set:

	Locale   en_US   readfile  1
	Locale   de_DE   readfile  1
	Locale   fr_FR   readfile  1

That might not be the best way, though. You can easily do in the page:

[LC]
		@_NOLEFT_TOP_@
	[en_UK] @_NOLEFT_TOP_UK_@ [/en_UK]
	[de_DE] @_NOLEFT_TOP_DE_@ [/de_DE]
	[fr_FR] @_NOLEFT_TOP_FR_@ [/fr_FR]
[/LC]

I might even take a look at supporting that within the new page editor.

Since the locale substitution is done before the Variable substitution,
it doesn't even impact performance to any real degree.

In addition, if you are up to date on 4.7.x via CVS you will find that
Variable definititions can be dynamic from a database, and that there
are some things you can do there.
