I seem to be stuck, and not sure how to resolve this. I am trying to localize a scripted email message. My idea was to try and use the 
nstranslation
module to retrieve localized strings in a template. However, it doesn’t seem to work at all in a regular email template. I am trying instead to use an advanced HTML template file, but I want to render it as HTML, not as a PDF, and I am trying to use 
renderer.renderAsString()
, but that just gives me the content of the template (including the pdf tags), but with all freemarker variables removed. Is there a way to print an advanced template from a file to HTML, or is there a better way to send localized versions of emails than this approach? Thanks!

My understanding of Advanced PDF/HTML Templates is that if the output is html it just runs freemarker part and find/replaces 
<pdf>
with 
<html>
etc.

When I use the following as my template content:
Untitled
The output of 
renderer.renderAsString()
is just this (the translation strings are not inserted):
renderAsString.xml
But 
renderer.renderAsPdf()
displays the translated content:

The output of 
renderAsString
doesn’t even change the pdf tags to html, so I get the feeling it’s not the right method to use. But, the only function I see that produces HTML output is 
renderer.renderToResponse({ response })
, but that requires a http.ServerResponse input parameter, and this is a server side script (Map/Reduce). Is there any way to produce HTML output directly in a server script?
So far, the only solution I have found is to make a separate Suitelet using 
renderer.renderToResponse
which feels like a hack, however it does work.
