        Thanks for writing this!

        I've learned a lot about localization in the process of creating Dabo, 
which is used by people all over the world. We wrap all displayed strings in a 
localization function, and Python has tools to extract these. We then load them 
up to Launchpad, a service provided by Canonical (the people who bring you 
Ubuntu). After that, people who can translate to various languages can 
contribute their translations.

https://translations.launchpad.net/dabo/trunk/+pots/dabo

        So far, we've got a lot of Dabo translated into German and Spanish, but 
there is still a lot more to get done.

        With these translations, all a developer has to do is:

self.Application.Language = "es"

... and all strings will be displayed in Spanish if a translation is available; 
if not, they default to English.
