However, this is not what
I need. I just want to have the labels on the site like "Last published"
and "Search" to be translated. When I look at the "forrest-seed"-site in
my browser, the tabs are nicely translated, e.g. "Examples" becomes
"Beispiele", but "Last published" is still in English. However, the
people at www.verit.de managed to change that, but I don't know how is
the best way to do that.

When I grep for "last published" I find that it is in site-to-xhtml.xsl, so it is not i18n yet.

The verit.de site uses a custom skin so they probably hacked the solution in their skin. Obviously this is OK if you only want to serve a single language. However, if you want to serve multiple languages it will need to be i18n.

I'm not too familiar with how i18n works in Forrest so I can't be much more help than that. A good source of pointers is http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-707, in particular the link back to the mail threads in the last comment.

We'd welcome your thoughts on how to improve the i18n handling.

If you don't get any further pointers in this thread try posting again with any new information you might have it may trigger an idea or another dev.
