I understand , the question is why :) ? I mean - I can see a reason why not do 
it - when you will need in the future to replace some content's layout- it has 
to be done in 2 places...

hi elad

first of all i have to say that Othello is not in production-ready product 
rather some code snips and ideas. so you are welcome to contribute your ideas 
:-)

now the answers 

2.
the only reason that localized directories and i18n transformer exist in the 
same match pattern is because some times i have the same content file (with 
i18n tags) copied in all _locale_ directories

1.
when the amount of translations is not so big then i use i18n, but when i have 
to do with whole pages i use different files
