Hi, that's a good idea, I will put this on my todo list.
Maybe we need an additional config file to define the
available groups.

The current i18n only includes swamp and webswamp, texts
that come from
the workflow definitions are not translated. We thought this
is enough 
as a first step,
because foreign installations can write the workflow
definition in their 
language.
To enable i18n of workflow definitions we could either:

- Use the gettext approach of swamp with .po files for each
workflow.
   For that we would need a script that greps the strings to
be 
translated from
   the workflow definition file and creates a .pot file

- Allow each language specific element of the workflow
definition to be 
flagged with a
   language (lang="de"...)

- ...?
