Including product descriptions and names - this makes things interesting because I18N is absolutely useless for it, so I'm building a set of modules that attempt to solve the whole problem gracefully; perhaps something to stick on CPAN at some point.

I'm using short identifiers for my I18N texts, like "Home.Greeting" which is then translated to "Hi there" for en_us or "Hallöchen" for de_de.  When I added a small CMS to a customer's application all texts should also be translated.  So I saved any text to I18N key CMS.NavigationPoint.PageKey.* within the right language "file" (actually I'm using C::P::I18N::DBI), * for "Title" or "Content" or similar.

I think it should be possible to handle product descriptions like this.  In your Backend save every text to Product.$ArticleNumber.Description, Product.$ArticleNumber.Name, Product.$ArticleNumber.Variant and so on where $ArticleNumber is the actual article number.  The possible languages should be somewhere in your Catalyst config.
