> In my current environment to develop static mulitlingual web-sites, I use an ant build.xml and the m4 macro preprocessor to achieve the following (sample):
> 1) index.en.m4 gets converted to index.en.html
> The *.en.m4 contains all language dependent text (similarly *.de.m4 for German) and includes
> index.m4 that contains the page's content layout.
> [(^\.)+].m4 includes sitedef.m4 where I define all global parts of the website (e.g. navigation structure, unique content e.g. phone numbers, filenames, etc.). This in turn includes a sitedefs.en or sitedef.de, ... respectively for global, language dependent definitions.
> 2) Dependencies 
> a) upon change of [(^\.)+].m4, all depending *.*LANG*.html get rebuilt
> b) upon change of sitedef.m4, build.xml, and alike all *.html gets rebuilt
> c) upon change of sitedefs.en all *.en.html get rebuilt.
> Obviously, I could use the exact same approach to create .xml whereever I created .html before, but my long-term goal is to get rid of m4. Has anybody already put some thought into how this would be done with forrest?
