(Get the code!)
Angel, for it to "be solved NOW" is impossible. Making Launchpad localizable would require a lot of work.
It's not just a programming issue; we'd need to address many other problems at the same time. For example: How would people choose what language they wanted to see Launchpad in? (Would HTTP Accept-Language be enough, or would we need separate UI?) How would projects handle bug reports where the reporter was using a language that none of the developers knew? What would we do with contributions written in a language spoken by none of the Launchpad staff, if someone reported that material as being offensive? (How would we believe the complaints?) Would people be able to host projects where the base language was not English, and use Launchpad Translations to translate that software into English? And so on. I'm not saying that these problems *shouldn't* be solved, just that it would take a while.
