I'm opening a ticket on TRAC now and submitting a patch, the ticket
is:
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2452
I think the defaults should actually really be in English, always.
Many themes are in English and don't support localization. If you run
such a theme on a localized install, you will have some unpleasant mixed
language on the resulting public pages.
You right, i didn't thoink about this point...
In other words, all theme localization should come from the language
file (po file) of the theme only, *not* from the backend language file
(the one in wp-includes/languages).
Right, now making the patch last night I'm quite sure I saw other
function that have default text parameters localized, so probably it
needs to make a patch to strip out the gettext function in these case.
Unfortunatly actually lot of themes use a mix of localization, having
gettext function in 70% of text, no text domain definition and other
text ungettexed. This it's due to the old versione of Kubrick used as
a base for lot of themes, used as bases for other themes etc.
The choise to have the defaul theme ungettexed to make it simple for
users ended as a not so good idea, probably 2.nexr will have some
other default themes (one or more), I think this new theme should be
come fully I18N to give future theme developper something to work on
that it's more similar to what a really good theme should be. The same
for plugins.
I'm stressing the idea to have a sort of "WP quality ribbon" for theme
and plugins, that have to meet some characteristic and one of them
it's to be fully I18N so we can have a large base of multilanguage
theme nd plugins that will improve non english user expirience.
Actually we should start a codex page, where various team can post the
them and plugins they internationalized/localized so other team can
jump oon them and make theyr locale version. I suppose some theme and
plugin have been I18N more than once by different teams, and this is a
wase of time and efforts.
There are some great theme's 'gettexted', 2 are made by Ainslie Johnson:

http://webgazette.co.uk/2006/01/10/wordpress-theme-localisation/
(I hope this isn't considered spam as it's not my website).
The "quality ribbon" and codex seems a good idea. Making theme's
localizable by default is just a fraction more work but makes the
existence of numerous people that much easier.
