This would be a good idea, but the original thought was also
for using localized units and such.

I have not dugged into the parser of xetex, so I can not actually say
how hard it would be to inject a localizable layer.
There would have to commands switching the "dialects".
The idea is to have the localization on a low level, so that
the packages do not necessarily need to be localized and the
localization
can be loaded separately. We do not want to reinvent the wheel, just
make
it better.
I am brainstorming here and personally do not have the time to do the
work.
