I've tried to test it. Here are the problems I've noticed:

1 - Following strictly the instructions, i.e. cvs-updating the xml tree,
then cvs updating the experimental tree, then copy the Makefile from
experimental/babayoshihiko/news directory into the xml/news directory,
and issuing make && make install gives the following error:

make: *** No rule to make target `news.inc', needed by `all'.  Stop.

2 - In an attempt to bypass this error, I've copied the news.xml under
news.en.xml (since it did not exist) and changed the header to reflect
the one of news.de.xml, ie:

<news fsroot="../.." lang="en">

And issuing make clean; make && make install gives the following errors:

news.es.xml:3: element news: validity error : No declaration for
attribute filename of element news
<news filename="index" lang="es" fsroot="../..">
                                                ^
news.fr.xml:3: element news: validity error : No declaration for
attribute filename of element news
<news filename="index" lang="fr" fsroot="../..">
                                                ^
news.fr.xml:1361: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch:
newsitem line 67 and news
</news>
        ^
news.fr.xml:1362: parser error : Premature end of data in tag news line 3

^
make: *** [news.inc.tmp] Error 1

3 - Again, correction of the above errors by changing the header in
news.fr.xml and news.en.xml:

<news fsroot="../.." lang="es"> in news.es.xml
<news fsroot="../.." lang="en"> in news.fr.xml

plus deletion of a superfluous <newsitem> around line 67 in news.fr.xml
(an error of mine).

Reuissing make clean; make && make install gives the following error:

xmllint --noout --valid  news.en.xml  news.de.xml  news.es.xml
news.fr.xml  news.zh.xml
xsltproc -o index.en.php.tmp finknews.i18n.xsl news.en.xml;   xsltproc
-o index.de.php.tmp finknews.i18n.xsl news.de.xml;   xsltproc -o
index.es.php.tmp finknews.i18n.xsl news.es.xml;   xsltproc -o
index.fr.php.tmp finknews.i18n.xsl news.fr.xml;   xsltproc -o
index.zh.php.tmp finknews.i18n.xsl news.zh.xml;
echo '<? include_once "../phpLang.inc.php"; ?>' > index.php.tmp
echo '<? include_once "news.en.inc"; ?>' > news.inc.tmp
/usr/bin/perl ../postprocess.pl <news.inc.tmp >news.inc
make: *** No rule to make target `news.rdf', needed by `all'.  Stop.
rm news.inc.tmp

Here I'm stuck. How can it be bypassed?

It seems that the process implies that it should only be run if new news 
(i.e. therefore news.rdf) are generated. Hence I don't see a way to 
translate thereafter. I should have missed something.
