I believe the KDE web pages is also done that way.

Yes, this is what I like in the current solution, but the other one 
would benefit from the power of KBabel.

No, I think the other one would simply require fully dynamic pages, 
written in PHP and a well written i18n() or something function in PHP 
which picks the correct translation from the language files. Based on 
the C++ experience it would be something like this:
<? 
include "translation.php"
setLanguage("hu"); //this may be done via the query, I don't know that 
much web programming
echo i18n("This text will be translated");
?>

and based on the setLanguage call, i18n will use the hu.po or en_GB.po 
or whatever to display the entry for "This text will be translated".

I think Chris's proposal is either in the quanta-devel archive or the 
kdewebdev-site archive. I CC this mail there as well, as others might 
be interested in.

I don't think we need *now* a new solution if this works, but it should 
be taken into account. What we need is a working site for 3.4.

I really appreciate that and I really want to see something up and 
running instead of the old SF site.
