Since you want an overview of the filled form, why not do something like:
1) call a pipeline from flow with params holding the widgetids:widgetvalues
2) generates a cocoon:/pipeline with the jx generator (see the cocoon:/pipeline
below)
3) You now have an xml block having the translated labels and the corresponding
widgetvalues
The cocoon:/pipeline could look like below
1) generates the form definition
2) do your i18n transformer
3) Do an xsl outputting something like
<field>
<label>translated text</label>
<postedfield>${username}</postedfield>
<field>
Think this is all (though, admit it is quite dirty :-) )
