This might be true, but if Ant should be used in InstallShield type
apps - as requested somewhere else - Ant gets exposed to a whole bunch
of other people.

I've been working together with people in the Norwegian and Brazilian
subsidiaries of our main customer, trying to install our software. Met
a lot of funny situations, including a two man team where one doesn't
speak English but German and the other one speaks English but not
German in Brazil - no I don't speak Portuguese.

I don't think i18n is a first class goal for Ant per se, but it would
become quite difficult to add support for it later - you better design
for it from the beginning.
