Yes. There are ways. I did something like that a few years ago. I extended
Ctrl-F1. If it didn't find a name in the help file then it would search for
the name in locales. Then issue and edit of the name in that locale. If it
appeared in multiple locales then presented a list of locales to choose
which instance I wanted to edit. Really fast compared to my editing speed,
but I wouldn't want to do this very often internally in an application. I
think that there would be a fair amount of overhead in this, particularly if
there are many locales with many names in each.
