Consider how to handle translations

I did some basic research on this topic:

There is a Trac I18n ticket on edgewall. It's as old as the hills and has been pushed back to 0.11: http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/280

I found this thread, which was rather eye opening: http://www.arcknowledge.com/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.trac.devel/2006-09/msg00030.html

Within it, Matt Good suggests the use of Genshi filters for internationalization. From the outset this seems like a spiffy idea, but in reality, is only useful for changing the text for form labels and such:

http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/ApiDocs/genshi.filters

I'd like to suggest that we arrive at something resembling a final cut of the docs, then translate them wholesale. Downloadable versions aside, the online rendition should probably be kept in the Wiki as a parallel doc structure. A good example of this is how the PHP docs are organized:

http://www.php.net/docs.php

I have no doubt that Trac could be modified to keep parallel Wiki's on hand, each associated with a different locale. But between those database changes, Trac modifications and the mechanism for switching locale, it adds up to a sizable patch to Trac itself. IMO, that's a bit beyond the scope of this ticket.
