pages for 2 languages), and fast.

And does it support page caching?

Very happy with the gettext gem here. It supports translation of  
strings, using the standardized .po(t?) format, or of full page  
templates.

Our site is too dynamic / low traffic to bother with caching, but I  
think adding the locale as part of your URL is a common approach,  
which should work with any localization system.
