Cool idea - not sure I see why you can't use a plain Apache, with a
semi-smart redirect-map... It should be fairly straightforward to
implement, actually - two MySQL tables (one for dirs/language
translation, one for file/language), and a dynamic map.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap
I'm using something very similar on media.peeron.com - to translate
/setid/page/ (http://..../8880-1/1/) to /dir/filename (/var/www/..../3215/1.jpg)
Or am I missing something?

| (...) I think it would at least require an external rewriting program just to handle the mapping of the accepted and available language to a selected language. And I can't see how you can avoid infinite loops using the Apache rewritemap directive. (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
