Currently chameleon uses zope.i18n to do translation. zope.i18n is quite heavy and is much more complex than a lot of sites need, so I would like us to consider making zope.i18n optional.
From what I can see chameleon only uses a few things from zope.i18n: translate, interpolate and Message. Message is only used to set some default values and easily be made optional. translate appears to be easily mappable to stock python gettext calls. That leaves interpolate, which is needed to handle i18n:name constructs in templates. interpolate is a small function that could easily be copied into chameleon, or possibly even be replaced with standard python string formatting with a bit more work. Is this a path that would be interesting? I doubt people using pylons or other non-zope environments want to buy into the complexity that zope.i18n brings..
