Auto Publish the article in variation site

Question

Hello
I need to be able to optionally auto publish a news article created in a English language channel to the corresponding channels in all other languages so that article can be seen by all portal users irrespective of their preferred language, without the need for the article publisher to manually publish it in each language site. Currently the publisher must go to each language site individualy to publish the English source document.
Has any one done something like this before ?

Thanks
Daastan

Some ideas:

1. Build a separate page for publish articles and make it possible for authors to choose whether this article should be published in other languages.

2. Override the ItemAdded event handler, check whether a flag for publishing in other language is checked.
