You could implement a ResourceSelectorAction that goes through the=20
possible file paths and names, based on the input page name, product=20
name and a configurable ordered list of languages.  Using java=20
MessageFormats to build filenames could make it configurable for=20
different file selection schemes.

The action's output would be the name of the selected file.

I don't think something already exists that does exactly that in Cocoon=20=

(but one is often proven wrong when making such statements here ;-), =20
you could probably use resource-exists but it might get ugly if you=20
have a lot of possible languages.
