It would be best if the Jalview source did not fork into
internationalized and 'en-only' versions. However, we have not
explicitly planned for internationalization but it has been requested
quite frequently, and would obviously be of great benefit!

Now that Jalview development is slow, it may be a good time to think
about doing this, but the transformation of the user interface code will
have to be done by someone in their spare time. Are you familiar with
any automated tools for creating and maintaining internationalization
bundles ?

Jim.
