Hi, that's a good idea, I will put this on my todo list.
Maybe we need an additional config file to define the available groups.

The current i18n only includes swamp and webswamp, texts that come from
the workflow definitions are not translated. We thought this is enough 
as a first step,
because foreign installations can write the workflow definition in their 
language.
To enable i18n of workflow definitions we could either:

- Use the gettext approach of swamp with .po files for each workflow.
   For that we would need a script that greps the strings to be 
translated from
   the workflow definition file and creates a .pot file

- Allow each language specific element of the workflow definition to be 
flagged with a
   language (@lang="de"...)

- ...?

Greetings
