Advice on best way to create translation/filters in functions

[Jonny]

The above was just a very simple example of the code pattern I was thinking of - there would in-fact be LOTS of filters across quite a few functions - it may be worth mentioning is that it forms part of a theme I am building.

K. Don't see any reason to have lots of filters really for the translation part. Just have the translatable phrase as a parameter to the function and then people just replace it using switch, if statements or arrays in the filter.
