I think the most simple approach is using a dictionary. Make one
Python file per language, and have that file contain only a single
dictionary named "translations". For keys, you have three options:

- use the English messages as keys (e.g. "Please enter your name")
- use short identifiers as keys (e.g. "EnterName")
- use numbers as keys (e.g. 116)
