Good i18n code for websites

Software

Today I registered the capsi.nl domain just to make sure I will put some effort into writing some internationalisation code and start offering translated versions of Capsi.

Dutch seemed like the right choice for the first translation, me being able to translate into it myself.

First I will write a prototype i18n function, then use it for menus and other relatively static content and finally I'll have to tackle the dynamic content.

As a sidenote, the reason I won't rely on GeoIP, or at least not solely, are search engine crawlers. They offer no method for content negotiation other than separate URLs and I'd rather score high in results for non-English queries than.. well, not at all.
