Just like you stated the need for OOo domain/website/project properties. I 
think there is a related need for a language properties collection.

There are several dimensions to language support in OpenOffice, we need a way 
to navigate users to all the support for their language. With a proper 
properties file the webpages for each language can include some language 
specific navigation.

Early on there was discussion that Apache websites can identify the incoming 
language. It would be good to provide a property that for example could be used 
to determine a German user of www.openoffice.org can automatically be sent to 
de.openoffice.org (or www.openoffice.org/de/.)
