Are you using Infrae's Silva specific patched version? I'm not sure 
whether we have this up for public download yet, (and am too 
lazy^H^H^H^Hbusy to check,) but I could send you a tarball off list.

It includes support to extract strings from the metadat xml files.

I'm not sure we've solved this ourselves yet. One possible solution is 
to use dynamic i18n-ed values in code or a script, and a tales 
expression in your forms to retrieve them.
