What I'll do is:
- for static text: use the 'xml:lang' attribute in elements to mark
them as belonging to a particular language
(- alternatively, you could make different XML files, of course, but
since I write all my contents, I like to have everything together)
- set up a XSLT to filter out all element whose language is not the
one I want (passed as a parameter) (note: I use "no xml:lang" to mean
"any language")
- find a way to pass the 'Accept-Language' (?) HTTP request field to
the stylesheet (you should use this field, and not the user agent, btw)
- for dynamic content (SQL/forms/whatever): Cocoon 2 i18n is to be
used with care (it's too much like "gettext"), but it can resolve
some problems.
OK, I have no good idea about making something like this work under cocoon1...
Right now I'm using X-Web, a small static HTML generation tool, but
I'm going to move to Cocoon 2 (just to show off ;-) ).
My sitemap looks like:
<map:match type="regexp" pattern="thenautilus/([^.]+)\\.(..)\\.html">
<map:generate src="thenautilus/{1}.xml"/>
<map:transform src="thenautilus/xsl/langfilter.xsl">
<map:parameter name="lang" value="{2}"/>
</map:transform>
<!-- other map:transform elements -->
<map:serialize type="html" />
</map:match>
and the stylesheet:
<xsl:param name="lang"/>
<xsl:template match="/html">
<html xml:lang="{$lang}">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="lang($lang) or not(ancestor-or-self::*[@xml:lang])">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise/>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
