[geeklog-devtalk] translations of static pages

[Tony Bibbs]

This should consider supporting other languages easy.  Can you explain 
how hard/difficult it would be to add, for example, Italian?  I guess my 
main point is if adding support for a new language requires code changes 
  I'm less interested.  If what you have is fairly generic then I'd be 
interested.

A URL to a working example or some screen shots or a tarball of code 
might interest a few of us to look into this further.
