That's excellent! How would I get a copy of that?

Yup.

Yup.

To be exact, he were suggesting:
...
<firstName xml:lang="en">Alex</firstName>
<lastName xml:lang="en">Romayev</lastName>
...

Yes, the new version have inline translation
capabilities, e.g.:
<i18n:when locale="en">One</i18n:when>
<i18n:when locale="ru">oDIN</i18n:when>
etc.
It already works and probably this week I'll perform
some cleanup and
will
commit it (I need to synchronize it with the current
CVS, cause my
working
version is rather old).
