Actually... this is already the way translations work :) There is a
huge .pot file containing all the texts of the game and
placeholders to put the translations. Once the translator has done
that, he send us the file back, we include it in the next distribution,
and the appropriate language is chosen when the game is started
according the the user's settings.

AFAIK there are people working on the French and German
translations. The French one should be ready in not-so-long. :)
