how about:

    # Translate.py

    messages = {}

    # ... check environment variable to figure out what file
    # to load, and load it using marshal, fp.readlines, pickle, ...

    # do it by hand, for now...
    message["hello, world"] = "tjaba"

    def T(message):
        return table.get(messages, messages)

and:

    # main

    from Translate import T

    print T("hello, world")
