And yet you're asking for a specific implementation technique instead
of the actual objective, which is to have control block mappings for
multiple languages. It might be nice that a single file serve all of
the languages, but that should not be part of the requirement.
BTW, why trilingual? Why not multilingual, to include at least foo,
bar and baz?
