Suggestions for good python libs / approach for multi language support? So many choice O.o

sadly, I don't have any experience with Internationalization. @grindhold, a friend of mine, used gettext ( http://docs.python.org/2/library/gettext.html ) and from what I heard it didn't give him much trouble.

Yup, the only problem i had was, that i did not start using gettext in the first place, so i had to check my whole 15k LOC for strings that potentially have to be translated. However. If you need dynamic content in multilanguage you may run into trouble because gettext uses static compiled files (.mo-files) to store the languagekeys. these files can only be extended by recompiling them. also gettext enforces a quite strict folder structure on you.
