Norbs, David, and Greg,This is a little premature, but Daniel Glassey and I have built an i18n framework into our website using ideas from the Bibletime team. It includes an online translation facility and seems to work fairly well, but we had been hoping to rewrite the actual content of the site before having people translate such. We've done most experimenting on swordweb, and you can see the result with URL's like (as Greg Hellings has suggested):
http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?lang=de http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?lang=fr http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?lang=fi http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?lang=es http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?lang=zh_CN http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?lang=nl http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?lang=zhFallback language is English for strings which translators have not yet translated.
So, great idea. We're on the same page. It's in the works. If you'd like to help out, let us know.
