No.  It is possible to localize an application that has not been internationalized
by doing a complete conversion of it to the new locale, inspecting every string
literal, every field layout, etc. etc.  How hard this is depends on how different
the two locales are.  Usually it's hard enough to make you not want to do
it more than once, at most.
