Why not use the same setup that Apache uses?  If you ever plan on
integrating Tomcat/Apache, this will make the transition painless.

Apache uses this by default I believe:

1. <docbase>/dir/.../index.html.fr
2. <docbase>/dir/.../index.html.en
3. <docbase>/dir/.../index.html

You can read more about it here:
