We have two things to do:
1) localize the name of the layouts in the GUI and the menus (once we
have ported the new menu system). gettext is able to handle that,
but this means we have to hardcode translations of things which ar
enot compiled in. For me, this is a problem.
2) Make the GUI reflect the commands like \chaptername. I think we
would need to add a concept of variables in layout files, and
provide language files which define the variables correclt
ydepending on the language. We should take the descriptions
directly from babel, so that the translation job is minimal.
The first part is easy, the second would be a bit more work, but not
too much.
