Thank you for the offer Ryan!

I tested the HTML Export filter in a single language Drupal install, and
it works well. But when enabling multiple languages, all the HTML files
it produces are empty; I suspect the filter is not multilanguage-aware
and ignores the language prefix automatically added to the path for each
target language by the i18n module (http://drupal.org/project/i18n).

How would you like to move this forward? I can give you FTP access to
the site, so that you can test the your changes. Would that work for you?

Cheers,

Jorge
