I am working on a project with multiple languages at the
present. For my development-work, i use cookies to set
language, and serve up the correct version of the document
according to the cookie-value.
( i use container-Zclasses with sub-documents for each
language, so that i don't need several directory structures)
In the final production-site,
the correct language-documents will be served up paccording
to top-level-domain : .com wil get english, .no will get
norwegian etc..

Take a look at the I18N product on http://www.zope.org/Members/tseaver/ZI18N
Not what i use, but it works in a similar way.
