Answer 1

The documents explain it pretty well:

http://book.cakephp.org/view/162/Internationalizing-Your-Application

You basically setup your language files, then the configuration setting in the core.php file decides which language you are going to display.

The neat thing about Cake Localization is that all you have to do is wrap all of your content in __('') which will automatically localize your content.
