Wow, never used local in Java before, but I simply think that Gwt locales are easy to learn... Take my 1 year java experience, 1 year university experience and 2 hours reading and experimenting with http://code.google.com/intl/fr-FR/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideI18n.html + one of the feature of www.gwtplatform.com : http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/downloads/detail?name=mergelocales.py into consideration. Men I can't imagine the hell you're going through.
GWT is AWESOME ! In every aspect ! There's a lot of thing that can be improved, but it's OPEN SOURCE ! Contribute.
