Hello TiddlyTweeter,
Expanding on cj.v elegant solution, you can also use a select widget if you
dont want to download a language plugin :
<$select tiddler="$:/language">
<option value="fr-FR">fr-FR</option>
<option value="en-GB">en-GB</option>
</$select>
<$text text={{{
[[$:/language]get[text]regexp[fr-FR]then<currentTiddler>get[fr-fr]]
[[$:/language]get[text]regexp[en-GB]then<currentTiddler>get[en-gb]] }}} />
