Since the local information can be got from the Accept-Language parameter of request, can imagevue supports I18N?

For example, if accessing from a en_US system, shows the menu/tip in english and if accessing from a de_DE system, shows the menu/tip in German (Of course, user need to define what to be shown of each language. If not defined, the default local message will be shown)

This is my suggestion:

Currently, imagevue stores the description data in xml. I think it can be updated, such as:

<folder title="pictures1" description="default" description_en="English desc" description_jp="Japanese desc" sort="auto" page="gallery" previewimage="eSIgzTdqulvenT1blx.jpg" fileCount="3" maxThumbWidth="100" maxThumbHeight="100">
<file name="1.jpg" title="River" title_en="English Title" description="River Winter Landscape" description_en="English Title"/>

</folder>

for description and title attribute, additional local can be added.
If current locale from browser(in php, $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] ) is jp for example, imagevue will try to find description_jp or title_jp attribute. If it exists, then read the data, otherwise, default data will be read.

language (capabilities.language property)

Of course, it means we would need to include a language-selector in the interface - Just because I'm located in China or Norway, doesn't mean I necessarily read those languages.

It would also need some good testing on platforms and operating systems to see if it's consistent.
