Safa SofuoÄŸlu (one of our GSoC students) mentioned to me that XMPP
clients need to provide localized versions of many protocol terms, but
that there is no consistency for those terms. Examples include:

1. Concepts like "file transfer" and even "instant messaging"
2. Basic presence states like "away" and "dnd"
3. Moods (XEP-0107)
4. Activities (XEP-0108)
5. Chat states (XEP-0085)
6. And many more!

Particularly the moods and activites should be
a) consistent among different clients with same language
b) consistent among different languages.
to avoid social problems :-).

(a) is relatively easy to achieve as long as the translator teams collaborate.
But for (b) it's necessary to create some semantic descriptions to some of the words, which can possibly have multiple meanings.

I've created this page some time ago http://wiki.jabber.org/index.php/Mood_translation but I somehow lost interest (partly because I didn't make other people interested ;-) ). The page is a basic draft intended to create attention.

That's a good start. I'm not sure what would be most useful for developers, but I'm happy to help by providing better definitions of the moods and activities in XEP-0107 and XEP-0108. In fact I've been doing some research on moods and activities, and we might update the lists in those XEPs before long (some relatively common moods and activities are missing).
