Exactly. Like any other software that want's to hook into FE's message
translation process can do this with a _ (gettext) function in
__builtins__ or state._ and the Validator.gettextargs attribute.

I think of 3 mo files:

messages.mo: the translatable strings of an individual project (like it
is now)

FormEncode.mo: the translated Formencode messages (the same files should
be shipped with FormEncode itself)

TurboGears.mo: the translated TurboGears messages (For example TG's
validator messages)

I think the best solution is to translate the whole thing and ship the
whole translations with FormEncode or TG.

I already did the german translation and it took me 2 hours.

Yes I can do this if you want to. But I can only translate into german.

I think FormEncode and TG should ship this, they also ship English and
other languages should be on an equal footing with English.

I love cultural diversity :-)
