Well - you can have a system where there are source code example directories for each locale. So, when Pippy starts in with LANG set to es, it would load the files which are in examples/es >From what I understand, TurtleArt is moving towards such a solution (graphic files are loaded from locale specific directories) A script which extracts the translated comment from relevant PO files and builds the locale specific source code files should not be very difficult to write (If you want - I can try it out towards the end of this week).
