This is not correct, Plone has an existing, proven solution for  
localization of content called LinguaPlone[1] that has been in production  
for several years, as well as the next-generation version of this,  
currently called plone.multilingual, which is headed up by Ramon.

I know Ramon has been silent lately, but he told me that he's wrapping up  
his current work by Feb 15th, and that we'll see more from him after that  
date. I'm also committed to help out the GNOME project once there is a way  
for me to do so — e.g. if there is any facilitation needed to get features  
added to Plone or LinguaPlone to support the GNOME use cases.

We're also doing a translation push[2] for Plone 3.1 to bring the support  
up to 40 languages, which covers over 99% of the online population at the  
moment. This is an area that I hope we can get help from GNOME's  
translation team eventually. :)
