If i18n is too cryptic or too alphanumeric, and internationalization is
too long, why not go with "nls"?

I personally think that nls is equally as cryptic as i18n or l10n.

But it has the virtue of being purely alphabetic. and thus meets one of
the objections that have been raised.

I don't put much weight on the "cryptic" argument myself.  I expect that
anyone who is doing internationalization work is familiar with all of
these  terms -- and if not, they need to *make* themselves familiar with
them.
