Simple multilingual CMS?

Hi,

I have been searching for a while now for a dead simple CMS with multi-language support. The ideal candidate is very lean and offers the possibility to set up different languages for different domains. It's OK if the language support is provided by a plugin/extension.

For example I want example.com to point to English and example.fr should be French. With different URI-mappings for SEO.

It can be developed in either of PHP, Ruby or Python and has to be open source.

Any tips?
Thank you

EDIT / MORE DETAILS
What I want is a CMS that is as simple to use and grasp for a client as Radiant is, but with tabs on each resource that can translate articles to different languages.

Languages have to be able to use multiple domains, one for each language.

I want to easily use the same article for more than one language as well as have articles (e.g. blog posts or news stories) that are only connected to one language.

The CMS should be very light in core functionality (like Radiant, unlike Drupal/Joomla) but be easily extendable with plugins.

You can go for three times award-winning, the Joomla.

Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.

I would probably go for Drupal if the site was more complex. But both Drupal and Joomla are way to big for what I actually need. And I don't want my clients to have that many options in their admin.

In Joomla (and probably Drupal but I don't know it), it's possible to tailor the admin for each user needs. In Joomla you can also give access only to the frontend. That's a lot simpler (create and edit articles, mostly that).

It's not a prepackaged CMS but Globalize http://github.com/joshmh/globalize2 gives you great power and flexibility in internationalizing a Ruby on Rails application.

FrogCMS is described as the PHP version of Radiant. I didn't use it myself but it looks pretty simple. The drawback is that its development seems to be stalled.

From my experience I'd recommend you to try out Silverstripe.

I actually found and had a look at Frog. But it was very buggy, at least on my server setup.

I suggest SilverStripe CMS

http://www.silverstripe.org

And for the support of different domains take a look at the Subsites Module for SSCMS http://doc.silverstripe.org/modules:subsites

The SSCMS is based on Sapphire Framework, it is very easy to extend and customize the functionality.
