Why 2 dimensions, if you put each language in a seperate file? You
should only the file/language you need.

We would access that via xpath, don't know about speed, we would have to
test it with large enough datasets. XML is basically just easier to edit
(IMHO), than direct JS arrays.

Another solution would be to provide a converter from the XML to native
JS script. That's easily be done in PHP or your preferred language.

*Some* free software uses .po :) But that doesn't help here, since the
browser do not understand .po. And it's IMHO not that easy to
edit/generate po files, if you never did it.
