I can't see how i18n is a model/business layer technology? i18n purely
relates to presentation and the view layer technology and hence should be
dealt with in the view. If the data is international, using UTF-8 charsets
on your DB makes it i18n enabled by default. The very fact that a
application can have one core model and controller but be represented in
many international formats deems it is a presentation/view layer
responsibility.
