Hi list,
we developed an extension which adds multi-lingual capabilities to
Radiant 1.6.3, without the need to make multiple trees in your page-
hierarchy.
The extension allows a site to have pages and snippets in several
languages; with a default language (currently dutch, but easy to
change in the source code. We didn’t test this extension with other
extensions, or how it behaves on a running installation, so install
this with care.
It works for us, and we will continue to add features, but this is a
first version which gives us what we need.
The major advantages are
- no need to have multiple site-hierarchies in your pages
- auto-redirection to the default language
- use of globalize, which works wonderful
Disadvantages
- includes pages which are copied from Radiant 1.6.3 (view/admin/page/
_node.rhtml and snippet/index.rhtml) - includes code from the site-controller within the extension
- currently only works with Radiant 1.6.3 (due to both previous points)

TAKE CARE: you need to apply a patch to globalize! See this link:
