Mattew, not God created the world in a single day.

By this I say, it is not necessary that the whole process of locale is made in a short time, but gradually.

Some answers to your questions may be:

1) How would people choose what language they wanted to see Launchpad in? (Would HTTP Accept-Language be enough, or would we need separate UI?)
>>> Possibly for anonymous users, it is best to choose via HTTP, but such serious for registered users can also configure the profile (GUI).

2)How would projects handle bug reports where the reporter was using a language that none of the developers knew?
>>>When reporting an error, you might be able to report on the languages available to accept the report and notify the user if different from the already has chosen or is HTTP.

3)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?)
>>>Same as 2), reporting the possible languages that are spoken in the staff and well informed.

4)Would people be able to host projects where the base language was not English, and use Launchpad Translations to translate that software into English?
>>>Same as 2). The user choose.

I think we should start gently with this, or when the project grows more open is a huge gulf as the Tower of Babel.
