Yes, I also wrote an alternative CmsLocaleManager some time ago,
which selects the locale based on browser's preference ("accept-language"
HTTP header) but then I found that it would not work together
with static export, so I reverted back to the default one.

It would help to have an option to make siblings of folders, but that
seems to be unsupported at this time.
