hmm, but do we really want i18n() php stuff running while the users waits 
for the page to appear?

I suggest to do a more static approach: regular xgettext which extracts the 
strings of the "master" www pages, writes and writes / merges a .po file. 
the translators can translate it and use a script to reassemble it in a 
localized tree. then its still all static for the server. 

this is probably a few perl scripts (maybe something like that exists 
already, not too unlikely. did anyone google yet?)
