Sure, the question is: is it a good idea to start localization right now? Localization usually should be done when a project is in a fairly stable state, or you end up spending far to much time trying in vain to keep you localizations up to date. Plus considering that for most Unix work and for a majority of Fink packages, you have to be able to speak english anyway. Note that I don't want to imply with this that I think localization is useless, far to the contrary I strongly believe in l10n and i18n, but it's still a matter of priority and spent resources. Conclusion: if anybody wants to go for it, do it, you have my support, however I would recommend you first discuss what tools you want to use here and plan it out - localization has to be done right or it ends up a nightmare in maintenance.
