So, for the sake of completeness, here's the fragment of Apache config we use
to solve this:
## Javascript Language helper
### only serve if exists
RewriteCond "/opt/local/apache2/htdocs/trans/lang_$1.js" -s
RewriteRule ^/xwiki/gen/js/lang_(.+)\.js "${servers:htdocs}/trans/lang_$1.js"
[L]
### otherwise serve the english one
RewriteRule ^/xwiki/gen/js/lang(.+)\.js "${servers:htdocs}/trans/lang_en.js" [L]
The files we serve there are javascript files that are output by an xwiki-page
when an upgrade is needed, for the languages that we need.
Indeed, the tiny history we had of one curriki user (who got her machine
repaired in a country, then fixed later in another, she was sure everything was
clean) shows that things can go badly wrong there and its useful to have a
fallback.
