Comment #1 on issue 1545 by pekka.klarck: Support for languages other than english in gherkin syntax
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1545

I agree this would be good enhancement. The main reason this hasn't been done yet is that the main sponsor, and most likely the biggest user, of the framework only uses English.

A rather simple solution would be listing possible prefixes inside the framework in one big list but that has several limitations:

- No easy way for users to add new/custom prefixes.
- There could be false matches.
- Matching all prefixes could cause a small performance penalty.

A better approach would be listing the prefixes inside the framework by language and allowing users to select language(s) to use from the command line e.g. like `--GherkinLanguage en:de:fi`. Alternatively/additionally we could support giving custom prefixes like `--GherkinPrefixes Angenommen:Wenn:Dann:Und`. This would be especially convenient if Robot would support configuration files where options like this could be read automatically. Separate issue can be submitted about that, but it's not a precondition for this issue.

@chmielsster: What do you think about this?
