Maybe you should consider asking for a feature request. I've seen a character generator for Shadowrun 4 "chummer" implement a set of translation files where the xml data inside the structure could be translated to a language other then english. The structure of the data wasn't altered for the program, but all the tags and data fields other then text boxes were displayed in the foreign language.

If you could have a language file that simply translated the field names and names inside drop down boxes or buttons, that would probably solve your problem. Any information typed into a text box would probably be in your native language anyway, so that shouldn't be too much of a concern.

After that, LW just needs to give the language translation file to the public so they can work on their own translations as a community project.

Oh, LW would have to inform the community of any changes to the data structure or purpose of tags, whenever they made those kinds of chages. There might have to also be a way to translate custom tags created by users... but then again those custom tags might already be in the language of choice.
