Localizer or Internationalization

Hi,

I am creating a new multilingual website and I plan to switch to Drupal 6 once it will be stable enough. For now, I am running Drupal 5.2 and I am considering adding a multilingual module; I need some informations about wich one to choose.

According to http://drupal.org/node/114751:

Localizer is NOT compatible with the contributed module Internationalization, also known as “i18n”, so this module should be deactivated if it has been installed previously.)

So for a new install and with the goal of having as easy a transition to Drupal 6 as possible, should I use Localizer or Internationalization? Or another one? Is there somewhere a comparison between the two of them?

For information, what I need:

  • emulate Dotclear’s behaviour: there is a page for every language (it is even possible to ask for pages from a certain category in a certain language—but this is not required for me)
  • correctly set the lang or xml:lang attribute for the page
  • optionally, to limit taxonomy to a given language and, when clicking on a term, to be shown only the pages that which match both the term and the language. Once again, this is not required

So, the minimum requirements are: a page for every language, setting the lang/xml:lang, easy migration to Drupal 6.

So, what would you suggest?

Thank you
