There are two initial steps that could be pursued independently. On is gathering translatable strings from the image into .pot files, the other would be to write a parser for .mo files. The first requires knowledge of Smalltalk parsing, the second familiarity with gettext. So I'd suggest starting with the second.
Yet another step would be to re-implement #translated to take into account the location of the sender. This could be performance- critical, as "thisContext sender" gets you only the compiled method but not the class or selector of the method. Probably the translator should have a cache keyed by compiled method and string, but the details might be tricky.
And work on making the language switching faster by not simply re- building everything would certainly be useful, too.
