II think it's a great idea. Of course, the web speaks english and most systems/programs use that language, but localization turns the experience of using a software much more confortable. If you spend most of your day processing a language that's not your native one, its a relief to give your brain a break by reading something on your own language. And localization on community projects like Gentoo always worked like a charm to me.
break something and I would prefer future portage will NOT accept LINGUAS. Never.
I don't see how changing text into a program would break its main function. Maybe a liltte "mix" of languages, but that's not a real bug. You may step into some charset problems, but as long as the core of the system keeps a language as default and only the interface changes, that's not a problem. And, of course, it may gather more users, to enhance the community, make better translations and update the localization. And, let's not forget, Gentoo is about choices... You may simply use the default language.
