Yes there are  settings for i18n and the first one is responsible for
locale to be added to path.
Internationalization Settings  I publish my weblog in multiple languages
 Show my weblog entries from all languages on my homepage

And to see translated UI. I am considering making the patch simpler and
strip out the part which enables choosing language. Searches will be always
made based on current locale or lack of locale.

 I personally would rather do separate blogs http://www.jroller.com/gmazzaand

I am thinking about this one also but first I saw the options in Weblog
settings and tried to make it works. The design for a site/blog is not yet
finished, but whatever solution I choose the site will be up and running in
two weeks. So you can see it online.
