[TYPO3] FE Access to Content and Pages

[Katja Lampela]

I don't know if using different language records would assist you..? 
Everything would of course be in english, but using the 1-tree approach 
you could "localize" some information.

Another quick idea would be perhaps to have nested fe groups or just 
great number of groups with all the necessary users each. Check also the 
"conditions" part 
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsref/current/view/4/1/
Maybe conditions with language+groups.
Just some ideas - hope this doesn't confuse even more.. ;)
