I haven't looked into the guts of how forwards to Tiles definitions work, but I think the basic idea is still sound. It's just that the path attribute of your forward is now the name of a Tiles definition instead of a JSP page, so in addition to a separate JSP page for each supported locale, you'll also need a separate Tiles definition for each locale.
That's starting to look like a lot of duplication of effort, though. If you have a lot of pages and intend to support a lot of languages, you're looking at a lot of different JSP pages and a massive tiles configuration. Have you considered locale-specific CSS files to give a different presentation to the same JSP page?
