I have no direct experience with text translation, but in this internet day
and age, it seems to me that a change to the language shouldn't make
internationalization more difficult than it already is. (I doubt anyone
will claim that it's truly easy, even with gettext.) Guido mentioned a
number of other languages that already use $-interpolation, Perl, the
shells, awk and Ruby I think. Of those, all but Ruby were around before the
explosion of the internet in general and the web and Unicode in particular,
so internationalization wasn't a prime consideration when those languages'
$-interpolation facilities were implemented.
