Eric,

Yes.  The localization scheme for zipped documentation is the same as for
unzipped.  The zip would be in plugins/yourplugin/nl/zh/CN/doc.zip

In the infocenter scenario (only, not when just launchin help from
Eclipse), help uses request.getLocale() as a mechanism on deciding which
language is to be served to the user.
If you want to override the locale that the user's browser sends, you are
free to do it.  Servers has different mechanisms that allow to do this.
For example in Tomcat 4, you can define a filter that will massage the
query as you like, before it gets to the web application.  You could define
a URL paths for each language.  They would all point to the same infocenter
application, but would have a filter set a Locale on a query differently.
