Both should be possible. But IMO it is even more important to allow
i18n catalogues in modules. And you might want to override e.g. module
menu items with publication-specific ones ("Add article" instead of
"Add XHTML document").

1.3 tries to make translating completely transparent. I wanted to
avoid aggregating the i18n catalogues, and also remove the need for
the i18n Transformer in XMAPs, so i18n translation will be merged into
the Serializers. Each module translates as the document is passed
around. No aggregation. No extra lines in the XMAPs. Each module
can have its own i18n, and anything not translated passes up to the
next level.
This will incur some overhead, but it should be minimal, and more than
offset the issues of finding all the files and translation key
collisions.
I had not thought about the filenames, planning to stay
backwards-compatible with 1.2. But I like the suggestion they could
be named better. After almost a minute of thought, the files will
probably be in an "i18n" subdirectory of each Module, and be named
"en.xml", "de.xml", "ru.xml", etc. So the "live" module uses:
{pub}/modules/live/i18n/en.xml
{pub}/modules/live/i18n/de.xml
If we use the same directory structures, the same super Serializers
should work in both 1.3 and 1.4, and could be passed back to 1.2. See
1.3's TODO file for the details:

Thanks for the inspiration,
