a "frontpage"? thats kind of clunky (these days). yes, i know locale <>
language. but langauges are not the same across locales (american vs british
vs ozzy "english" for instance) and i18n isn't just about languages.

it's actually quite fast. but you could also load this straight into shared
scope structures if you wanted some more caching.

no, i've found that the coding effort is actually the same and if built with
CFC you could actually use either for storage. one very good (free) tool is
ibm's rbManager tool which also helps track translation efforts for you but
produces java standard resourceBundles (\uXXXX encoded) which requires extra
effort for mx to handle. i'm building an mx based rbMangerIB (rbmanager's
idiot brother-in-law) tool to help with this but its still a few weeks away.

other i18n goodness besides the locales. this sounds like you won't ever be
using any dates, etc.?

yes, it doesn't handle it at all. if you never leave the latin-1 sandbox, i
guess cf5 will be ok but its a dead-end for i18n work.
