Products are associated with "Contents" Each piece of "Content" can have associated contents in multiple locales. This feature works and I have used it in a bilingual application.

Someone using OOTB frequently will be able to address this. In case some feature is missing in OOTB , due to framework nature of OFBiz its very much possible to develop the missing functionality. regds mallah.
