Create iWeb sites in languages other than system default Apps
One way to make iWeb sites in another language is to change the system language completely. Another way is to Control-click the iWeb application and select Get Info from the contextual menu. Then unfold the Languages tab, and remove all languages but the one you want to create the site in. This way you force iWeb to use that language.

Note however that sites already created in another language will get errors for missing files from the old language templates. This means you have to rebuild the site from scratch. Just create another site next to the old one, and copy and paste as much as possible (everything except dynamic content, etc. which contains language-specific stuff).

[robg adds: Rather than removing the languages, just remove the checkbox next to all languages other than the one you want to use. This makes it simple to re-enable the other languages, and still has the desired effect.]

Unfortunately, this only works for administrator accounts.

Unfortunately, this only works as administrator. So change the settings using your admin account, but remember to tell your co-workers.

Snow Leopard Update:

I was unable to find and "Languages" tab in the Finder inspector to apply this hint for iWeb 3.x in Snow Leopard.
Fortunately, it's now even easier!

1- Close iWeb if it's open.
2- Go to System Preferences, "Languages & Text" section.
3- In the first "Languages" tab, drag your target language at the top of the list
4- Open iWeb : it is now entirely in your selected language and will generate all appropriate contents in this language.

When you're finished with one language, go to 1- and repeat to the next target language.

Maybe a little bit cumbersome, but easy.
