IntSmarty added 
I have posted on the code snippet page a couple of things. My hacked version of IntSmarty is there, as well as the MyIntSmarty class I used, and finally the newArticle template converted over to use it. I have written in this
blog extensively about my experiences learning and hacking IntSmarty. The creation of the MyIntSmarty was also discussed.
If you look at the original newArticle template and the revised one - you will probably see very little difference (minus the few slight layout changes I made for the inclusion of a navigation menu). All I had to do was add the {l} and {/l} tags around the text I wanted translated. How easy is that.
Hopefully this will help anyone who has to create a multilingual site (mine was Japanese, English and eventually Korean). It really isn’t that hard once you get the basics - so do your homework. If you have a hard time getting this to work or have a question about it please let me know - I’d be more then willing to help you figure it out.
