Wouldn't that be a good idea for this implementation too?  It sounds 
like it is not-yet-released, as it is also not-yet-bug-free.

And actually, wouldn't it be nice if international keywords could be 
accepted as alternates if one just said

import pt_BR

An implementation along that line, except for things like reversing the 
order of "not" and "is", would allow the next national language 
customization to be done by just recoding the pt_BR module, renaming to 
pt_it or pt_fr or pt_no and translating a bunch of strings, no?

Probably it would be sufficient to allow for one language at a time, per 
module.
