What about using XHTML and po4a to handle translations using .po
files?  The original english versions would be written in XHTML,
translators would work on .po files, and the site could be generated
regularly or when the source or .po files changes.

For an english XHTML page index.html.en, this command will generate a
.pot file:

  po4a-gettextize -M UTF-8 -f xhtml -m index.html.en -p index.pot

So, when a .po file is around (say nb.po), this command can be used to
generate the translated XHTML version:

  po4a-translate -f xhtml -M UTF-8 -m index.html.en -p nb.po -l index.HTML.nb

Happy hacking,
