I think this is two different problems:

1. pharo itself supporting different languages/keyboards, etc.
2. pharo allowing the development of i18n applications

I think we still need to work on point 1, but for point 2 we already have gettext package, which is a standard we can/should use. Maybe that needs to be better documented (as everything), but well��� we have a solution there :)

Will we include it into the standard image?

No. The whole idea with PharoExtras was ���there are packages we care about and we want to make them available, but there is no reason to keep them *in* image���.
I do not see why we should change that policy. 

Now, we definitively need better documentation about it.


But having I18 support is not bad��� e.g. there are many programs out there that provide translated menus.
It would not be completely a bad idea to do that for Pharo, too.
