Not having looked at the link (site is slow, didn't load yet for me), I only have one thing to remark: The XML standard itself defines an attribute xml:lang (namespace is the XML namespace) containing a ISO two-letter language code possibly extended by a modifier (e.g., "en", "de", "pt_BR"). Though libxml or libxslt don't do anything with them, it is easy for you to filter any tag not having the correct language specification. Also, XSLT supplies a 'lang()' function which makes language matching painless even when facing extended language codes like "pt_BR" (brazilian portugese). The real complex part of the original posting is the question how to supply the localized data in the first place, facing translators who should have all texts easily accessible. There was a posting about several alternatives some months ago on this mailing list, search the archives for it.
