In my opinion, modules do not need and should not have
internationalization.  It's just extra unnecessary cruft.  The modules
are currently quite small, lean, and tidy.  Let's keep them that way
please.

I don't want to do something that would be undesirable, but for the consideration of those others who will decide whether or not to apply patches, I will state what started this off.

Massimo (it.po translater) had this to say on the e-intl list:

"in fact my concerning about translating modules started when I saw
that modules were partially translated, due to the fact that they
share many (already translated) strings with core e17 modules, and
that made me think I was seeing an unfinished work."

For default C locale users I can understand that having this po stuff could be "cruft", but the config dialogs look messy for anyone using a non-english language. For these users, it's not cruft, it's functionality.

That's the motivation for this.

Regards!
David
