Translate.org.za created and implemented this feature for their multi- language South African builds.

Translate work outside of the OOo project and have little interest in joining. The reason for this is that they are not OOo specific and provide translations for multiple products including OOo, Mozilla, KDE etc. Regards Craig A.
