Thank you so much, but I’d just as soon save your time because I’m about to post another question. I came up with a workaround. Pods template tags, called “magic tags”, can include a function to process a field. So {@ID,get_the_title} works for $post_title, and for $post_content this simple function works, called by the tag {ID@get_content}:

function get_content($id) {
  $post=get_post($id);
	return apply_filters( 'sublanguage_translate_post_field', $post->post_content, $post, 'post_content' );
}

One update: I had this function:

add_filter('the_content', function($content) {
	global $post;
	return apply_filters('sublanguage_translate_post_field', $post->post_content, $post, 'post_content');
});

but the post title was not getting translated.

So I took a guess and added this, and now the title translates.

add_filter('the_title', function($title) {
	global $post;
	return apply_filters('sublanguage_translate_post_field', $post->post_title, $post, 'post_title');
});

I think I have everything translating now including when called in a Pods template. To clarify the original post, what I haven’t been able to do is have a Pods template itself with multiple languages. I’m guessing it’s solvable with a similar filter function, just don’t know how to write it.
