I am relatively sure, that 'exists' would really be the only thing
affected by removing z3c.pt. 

i18n is in principle also supported by Chameleon, but not specifically
supported in megrok.chameleon. You can use translations as shown by
Sylvain before: simply define a ``namespace`` method in your i18n-ed
view returning something like {'translation-language': 'de'}. This is
certainly a field of possible improvements for megrok.chameleon, but I'd
tend to concentrate on Chameleon-geared support (i.e. all support should
come via Chameleon, not any z3c helper package if avoidable).

Viewlets etc. would still be supported.

Furthermore, in the docs there was already a warning about possibly
kicking z3c.pt in the future. So nobody should be too surprised.

Sure, I'll do this anyway.

Thanks for the input! This means that most probably support for the
'exists' expression will be dropped in next megrok.chameleon release.

This is your last chance to complain and/or propose better solutions :-)
