We had some discussions in IRC over the past week around the i18n,
modifying content vs deploying as-is, and gettext. Since we dropped github
pages as our target, I'm looking into writing a small plugin for Jekyll
today to aid i18n support, I'm also going to double check that there's no
existing plugin that's appropriate. Provided jekyll allows it, I think its
should be a reasonably simple plugin and provide the quickest way forward.

Thanks,

Dan
