Interesting comments thus far, they certainly shine light onto something that appears important. Internationalization has been on the back-burner for me and it is clear that this is something that requires a decent level of investment to implement and execute correctly.
Throughout several years as a developer, I've worked for companies that employ workers that are fluent in the US English language, so supporting internationalization never had any "value" to the business. Any legacy projects that I have worked on that were used by a non-English speaking team were poorly internationalized. It would have been cheaper to start from scratch than attempt to add multiple language support in correctly.
Great question!
