Sure. The question is whether python's gettext module respects this. If it does, we don't have to make a python sugar.gettext module, and we don't have to modify the activities. If python's gettext isn't susceptible to environment variables, we can do it using a one-line call to gettext.bindtextdomain. We might even be able to hide that call inside "import sugar.activity" to avoid modifying the existing activities. --Ben
