[Chameleon] Dual Language Functionality

[Paul Spencer]

John,

I'm fairly sure there would be at least some minor issues with  
upgrading from 2.0 to 2.4 but I would hope these would be fairly  
isolated.

The latest version has some examples of bilingualizing stuff in the  
samples directory.

Regarding wms_title_en and wms_title_fr (etc), I'm not sure that will  
work ... well, obviously it doesn't ... but I'm not sure its even  
supposed to work.  I assume you are having problems with the legend  
widget displaying names in english/french when you switch.  I know  
someone solved this problem.  Hopefully they are reading and will  
post a response.

Cheers

Paul
