Since people have voiced their opinions, let me add mine:

As a professional programmer I would never use I18N identifiers.

OTOH, as native German and father of some children I have a hard time
explaining to them why they cannot have a variable named 'Bücher' if
they are writing a program that counts books, for example ;-).
