(Get the code!)
We likely won't localize the whole of Launchpad ever. For many applications, it doesn't make sense to do so. Code, Blueprints, Bugs are applications that are meant for large open source community of developers. We don't want bug reports, branches or blueprints in languages other than English. Providing a localized UI for those applications would encourage confusion to file content in the native language which is something we don't want.
Translations is different. It could make sense to provide a localized UI for that application, although since all translations always occur from English, we can assume translators are comfortable with the English language.
The Answer Tracker is something we definitively will internationalize. It already supports content in multiple language and only resources are preventing us from completing its localization. See bug 81419 and the linked blueprint to track the status of that endeavour.
As part of that, we'll need to internationalize the login and registration process.
ShipIt might be another candidate for I18N.
