We have posted a patch to support object translation of certain Drupal objects (content types, user profile fields and categories, site settings, and so on) to multiple human languages. While we have clear concepts and very good ideas for the user interface (which we though before that would not be easy), performance-wise we are at crossroads. We would welcome beginner as well as expert reviewers to come and share their performance ideas about Drupal object translation, so Drupal 6 can include a mature translation infrastructure, advancing ahead of the competition. ;) We need your input!
