Hi,

You can run
  $ cvs update -d -l french
if you have currently no french/ subdirectory, then
  $ cvs update -d french/language-env

Switching to a <package>/<language>/ layout will make translator's
life much harder, so I do not like this solution.
Maybe the English INFOS files may contain the list of available
translations, and a script could parse it to run CVS commands.
I will give it a try.
