Theoretically not, as long as you don't need to upgrade prettyref. I don't
know if prettyref's license allows this, though.
Actually, it is quite easy to add babel support to prettyref without modifying
it. I have written a class that loads prettyref and translates the terms to
the document language, using babel. Due to my language "knowledges" and my
lazyness, it only supports (n)german and (probably wrong) french. I have
added the latter because the package works around a clash of prettyref and
french babel (it uses a non-active colon for label and prettyref). But it is
only a try anyway and can be extended to other languages easily. Furthermore,
already defined terms as \chaptername are used.
Additionally, with the option "prettyvario" varioref and prettyref can be
combined.
Maybe it is of some use for you. Note that it is my first package, so there
might be lots of bugs.
Regards,
Juergen.
