[Zope-CMF] i18n for CMF And Plone, backporting i18n to Zope 2.x

[Joachim Werner]

Hi!

Stephan Richter, who is in charge of Zope3 internationalization, will
probably do an "official" backport of the i18n stuff later this month. We
discussed about that on the EuroPython conference in Belgium, which was a
great conference ...

The backport will be fully supported by Zope Corp (the guys at Python labs
will do the TAL/METAL work) and be part of one of the next Zope 2.x
releases. So I think there is no need to do it yourself. But of course you
could contact Stephan to offer him some help ...

Cheers

Joachim
