The internationalization work that's already been done in Vocabulary 
uses phrase translation, as I recall. What smarter strategy can you 
think of?

Not really; Squeak has ê, I just don't remember how to type it on my 
keyboard. On keyboards with a numeric keyboard, you can probably use 
the Alt-144 or Alt-0144 (I don't have a numeric keyboard). Note that 
Squeak does *not* use ISO8859-1 for its character encoding.
