Has anyone done it yet with Tapestry? I don't know the first thing about 
internationalizing an application.

thanks for any pointers,

I've not done much with Tapestry yet, but I have already come across some
issues concerning internationalization. Displaying is not a problem, you
just have to use the correct character encoding for your HTMLWriter. But
dealing with input seems to be much harder.

I didn't work on the problem very long, but the main trouble is to guess
which character encoding was used by the browser for the HTTP request. It
seems that browsers are quite silent about that. Most often, they use the
same character encoding as the one the server used. Therefore a basic
solution is to call setCharacterEncoding() in your engine with the character
encoding you used to display the page. But that doesn't work if you don't
always use the same character encoding in your application...

I looked for ideas on the web but didn't find much. You can start with
http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/%7eflavell/charset/form-i18n.html. That would
really be a good thing to find a real solution, but I'm not sure it exists.
Anyway, I think this issue should be discussed in Tapestry documentation, as
it may be interesting for almost all non English-speaking people.

Tell me if you find something. I will look again at all this when I have
some time.

Regards,

Pierre-Yves
