Depends. We would like the main web site to be localized in several, many languages (notwithstanding other web resources). There are several ways to do it: CMS, wiki, specific po file-based, full HTML in language trees through a SCM, etc. The main website being more in a showcase situation, we will need to have a reasonable control over the HTML there, in every locale. There is a balance to find between Web design, integrators and translators coordination. So it may be that a light, custom, HTML edited, file-based with a SCM solution would fit (every translator handling her own language tree, synchronizing with the pivot language - Blogdrake people experienced that in the past, I already posted something about that in a earlier message; it has drawbacks, advantages and can be improved). Other parts of the Web site will definitely use something else (localized forums, wikis, some specific web apps, hence using language files). Again, nothing decided yet. I hope we can start working on this about next week (going through the Web team, coordinating with comm' and marketing teams). Cheers, Romain
