That is the manual work I would like to avoid.

How about something more automatic. Say that for each tag with a certain
class XMLC would automatically extract its firstTextNode() value and
also its title and value attributes' values to a special file and then,
upon writeDOM it would automatically load the appropriate language file
and replace the text strings. It would be similar to 'CLASS="discardMe"'
approach for automatic striping of unneeded nodes.

The language files could be based on gettext.
