I'm CC'ing Contact Chusslove Illich as he seems to be the person in charge for 
the new i18n structure along with Nicolas Goutte. AFAIK there is nothing 
planned in this field, to make sure you don't do a typo in the "dummy" 
department i did a small helper program in KGeography.

But if Chusslove could find us a better solution we will both be happy :-)

Chusslove, what you say?
