I already pointed Atsuhito Kohda to

    <http://surfchem0.riken.go.jp/~kubota/linuxwork/language-env.html>
    <http://packages.debian.org/language-env>

(or he already knew about it).  Have a look at it.
I think he should add ad module for lynx to it.

But that's very Debian-specific.  And there are probably good reasons
why that machanism hasn't widely caught on (even within Debian, it seems).
It only supports 4 or so languages.  It does too many things, and
different ones for each of them.
