Sure, but I think there are 2 separate problems here.
One is to read the source code in any locale. I think enforcing
7-bit ascii is helpful for that.
The other is to read and display translated messages.
For any given language that would be done in a specific locale.
It doesn't have to work in any other locale.
Maybe I'm not understanding what you're getting at.
