It looks like a very bad idea to me, why are you trying to be kind with
poorly i18n-ed softwares?
OTOH consider GNOME and KDE, their menu files (a.k.a desktop files) contain
translated entries for all languages in a single file. Their generation
can be performed under any UTF-8 locale, and conversion to user's charset
is performed on the fly. (AFAICT since I am not using them)
IMO you should focus on programs with good i18n support.
