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.
