While the docs and tutorials will only be in English for now I think
the infrastructure for translating the API should be present. One of
the main aims of the Ubuntu project is that all the included software
has full translations into as many languages as possible, so if we
want Crunchy to be part of EdUbuntu at some point in the future we
should to at least make it possible to translate everything.
