Could someone please finally add a link to Localizer (on zdp and on zope.org).
It's nowhere. I prefer it for it's simplicity.
I also put a short desc onto the wiki.

Release Notes for 0.5.1:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=44212

The **Localizer** product provides several facilities to internationalize
and localize python products and web sites. It has a simple interface to GNU
gettext 
which helps in maintaining localized strings, modules and products. 
Also allows localized resources.

- Builtin algorithm to select the language 
(form request variable 'LOCALIZER_LANGUAGE'/cookie 'LOCALIZER_LANGUAGE'
/browser configuration/server locale)

- Site Layout:
 /foo/
   Localizer/
     en/
     es/
     fr/
=> URL: /foo/en .. or /foo/Z/manage for untranslated content

gettext markup is IMHO easier to grok than again new tags, and is consistent
for DTML 
and python code.  I tend to prefer it over zBabel, but there are still a few
bugs.
