Yes, me too. At the moment we are doing our syllabus using  parallell text
fields, and storing them in the database as separate content, but we then
have a syncronisation problem, i.e if the contents in one language changes,
the changes may not be reflected in the other language, etc.

At the PEPC2003 conference (http://www.codex-se.org/pepc2003) there was some
brief mentioning of the XLIFF format, as a possible element of a solution.

The uPortal people are very likely to start using it (it is planned for
uPortal 2.2) and it might be valuable to be able to give it a look and
evaluate it.

In general, has anyone come up with a solid solution for content
localisation in Zope/Plone?
