I am only aware of one attempt to internationalize Radiant, it was rather a long time ago and for version 0.5.2. I have one site using it, and it is nice. I am currently updating that site, and faced with the prospect of not translating it...
I think it is actually a lot less work than you realize. Once the various strings are in place, it is pretty easy to update things. I really think this is something that should be addressed before the 1.0 release and I also believe that it won't get too much in the way of updating the interface. The only real problems are the few buttons with text. These would of course have to be replaced with something a bit more flexible, but even that would be possible using text and perhaps background images. Just an aside, one thing that would make translating a site a bit tough would be the error messages. These are found throughout the various controllers and helpers and would be hard to address with an extension.
