yes. they basically do what i like to do. it just depends
on how much work they stuck into it. i don't find the
wml-source, but i see that they worked around the same
problems as i had (have). (http://www.internutrition.ch/)

but let's go ahead with the problems: this simple example
does not work and shows well where i have a hard time to
understand the consistency of wml here.

#!wml -o (ALL-LANG_*)uLANG_DE:%BASE.html \
    -o (ALL-LANG_*)uLANG_FR:%BASE_f.html

#use wml::std::lang
<lang:new id=de short>
<lang:new id=fr short>

<html><head><title>test</title></head><body>

<set-var bar = "<de: german><fr: french>" >
<de> 2. German bar is: <get-var bar> </de>
<fr> 3. French bar is: <get-var bar> </fr>

</body></html>

output is for test.html:
 2. German bar is: germanfrench 
german

and for test_f.html:
french
 3. French bar is: germanfrench 

yes. this is really the output. that should not happen!
cheers
