Another decidedly ignorant Anglophone here, but one problem that I see
with localizing stuff is that locale is app- (or at least thread-)
global, isn't it?  That would suck for applications like Mailman which
are (going to be) multilingual in the sense that a single instance of
the application will serve up documents in many languages, as opposed
to serving up documents in just one of a choice of languages.

If it seems I don't know what I'm talking about, you're probably
right.  I just wanted to point out that there are applications have to
deal with many languages at the same time.
