Nice, can you prepare a patch and add it to this issue? I will apply it
then, thx. I reckon there are more to come. ;-)

Actually I just tested it in 'forrest run' and not forrest.
In the dynamic mode you can change the preferred language of your
browser and hit refresh.
Right now you find in the main forrest sitemap.xmap:
<map:transform type="i18n">
<map:parameter name="locale" value="{request:locale}"/>
</map:transform>
The question is how to parse the request:locale to the cli? ATM I do not
know that, but I guess that is possible. ;-)

Yes, this will go into views for now I added it to viewHelper.xhtml.
There are some points I found out for a full i18n support for skins
(view based). ...but this will be another thread. ;-)
I reckon you have to extend the catalogues section like the following,
but I have not test that.
<catalogues default="common">
<catalogue id="common" name="CommonMessages"
location="skins/common/messages"/>
<catalogue id="{forrest:skin}" name="{forrest:skin}Messages"
location="skins/{forrest:skin}/messages"/>
</catalogues>
