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.
