It's also something you shouldn't overestimate. I've been involved in
internationalizing several projects that were previously English-only.

The work of making things translatable can be done incrementally. You
also don't have to get everything right the first time, the current
proof of concept translation of `git status` for instance suffers from
numerous problems, but it's still better than nothing.

It can be used as-is and then incrementally improved by arranging the
strings more intelligently in the future.
