There’s a somewhat popular program called "microsoft excel" that I
sometimes have the misfortune of being exposed to. It has played with the
idea that you propose. Function names depends on the LOCALE. How do you
find the mean of a vector, say? Well, it depends on the LOCALE of the
system. My experience is that the result is not pleasant!
Localization should at most (if at all) be supported via with overlays as
others have pointed out, but it would be weird when inserting
e.g. properties (C-c C-x p).
