[Zope] Newbie: Can Zope do this?

Hi,

I need to develop a resource-localization system for an inhouse project.

I want to be able to maintain a reference object hierachy of English
texts, and a number of "mirror-hierachies", one for each locale, where
translations can be entered.

Something like:

+English
	Hello world
	How are you?
+German
	Hello world: Hallo Welt
	How are you: Wie gehts?
+French...
+Japanese....

From what I've read so far, it seems I need to develop one or more
Products (one for the English reference-texts, and one for the
mirroring?), but I am unsure as to the possibilites of having objects
mirror one another automatically. I guess I'll also have to use unicode
or something, in order to support Japanese etc. Does Zope support that?

Is this possible? How would this best be achieved?

Thank you,
Jacob
