Yes, plan is to write a howto on Internationalization. Noticed today all the basic Common_Messages in $FORREST_HOME.../skins/common after creating them from scratch myself last week, not realizing these handy templates existed as a base to work off of. It is rather easy to get started on once you realize the infrastructure work is basically done, and all the information about it swimming around is already implemented either in Cocoon or F7. We need only configure and add to it.
Great news, congratulations on getting back to the surface of that particularly deep pool.
I do think we need a translation engine plugin to, in a sense, skin the output text into the appropriate languages. If I work on this alone, it could be epic, however I am looking into it this month. If anyone has any experience, suggestions, please do pass insights to the list. Might help to save some time.
As I have hinted at previously, I think this is actualy much simpler than it may appear (at least if you use 0.8-dev, it is much harder in 0.7). However, this is a dev topic. If you post on the dev list I will stop hinting and start brainstorming with you. We try not to discuss dev topics here in order to keep the focus on user support.
