Hi, Bert,
Good stuff!
After loading the update, however, I found that when I dropped a project created in another language, specifically Pierre-Andre's "traitementSons.015.pr", onto my olpc dev image, I got a message-not- understood, because "Locale previous" was nil... debug log appended below.
This is probably a problem only affecting evolved dev images -- an up- to-date plug-in image didn't have trouble with this. But perhaps it's still something worth bulletproofing against...
Cheers,
-- Scott

Just published an update to do this. Seems to work nicely so far, I translated the three cloud inscriptions of the launcher to German, and they do switch on startup or when selecting a language from the toolbar.
To try, just drag out a Text from supplies, change language, edit it, switch back.
No way to disable yet, but if there are translations, they are shown in the menu.
Not sure how we would handle these translations with external developers. We could translate all our example projects to at least one other language, and then extract all text morphs that have at least two translations. Or, maybe better, have translators translate in etoys and send back the translated projects. Then load both our master project and the translated one, find the new translations and merge into master.

One thing I thought about was making a Text object be translatable itself - when switching the locale we would store the previous translation in a dictionary (in a property of the object). Then the text could be edited, and when switching back, the old string would reappear. Hopefully we could make this behavior be the default, but it should be disabled from the halo menu, which could also show the other translations in a submenu.
