Doesn't look like that would make the files any easier to handle. The first idea was to clean up the home-directory. Now that translator just adds even more file names. In my experience, having one piece of information accessible in two different places may be useful, but it always adds a little bit to confusion. (That's a danger of translators in general, I think.)
With symbolic links, you usually can make out where the file is originated. With dozens of different translators spread throughout the filesystem, it may become a major task to get an idea of the filesystem layout on a system.
