I’m trying to build a cms system for Indian Farmers (each province in India understand/speak/write a different language) so to keep the data entry simple, I opted for markdown format. But I want use the ember goodness also.

- Markdown is stored in database as part of model data.
- Markdown will contain ‘i18n’ template
- Markdown will contain ‘user defined’ helper template
- Markdown will contain ‘link-to’ tags
- Markdown will contain ‘images’ stored in model data.
- Once base language data is ready. Same markdown will be used to translate model data to other languages.

# template/application.hbs

```
### Crop Name 
{{t 'crop.name'}}

### Yield
{{metric-system crop.yield unit="basket"}}

### InterCrop
{{#link-to 'crop.other' crop.other}}{{t 'crop.other.name'}}{{/link-to}}

```

* * *

# Rendered (application.hbs)

> ### Crop Name
> ಕ್ಯಾರಟ್

> ### Yield
> 5 baskets

> ### InterCrop
> [!-- #link-to http://localhost/crop/2 --] ಚೆಂಡುವ

- Is my approach correct?
- Is there a addon which fulfills all these requirements?
- If none exists, how should I go about building one?
- Whom do I approach for mentoring me for building such a addon?
