The comment that comes with the "project.i18n" property says that "if you want to use it for static site then modify the JVM 
system.language and run once per language".  This part escapes me.  I have tried various things, like adding 
"forrest.jvmargs=-Dsystem.language=fr" or "forrest.jvmargs="-Dsystem.language=fr"" to forrest.properties, 
doing an "export LANG=fr" in the shell before running forrest, etc., but nothing seems to result in forrest generating content in 
build/site/fr.

Can anyone give some specific instructions to help me "run once per language" 
to generate a multilanguage static site? I am on gentoo linux.

Does http://article.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.forrest.user/3620 help?

It would be really useful if you could write an outline doc describing how you get i18n working. This comes up fairly frequently and we disparately need a doc (as you have discovered). It doesn't matter if it is not complete, just something more than we currently have.
