I really didn't find much new on the VL forum. It looks like they would like more internationalization (i18n) and localization (L10n) support but as yet haven't got there. I'm going to look at Slackware and see if Mr V is any further along. I found some useful discussion on the Slitaz (also a slack derivative) forum as well. There is definitely a lot to do to make GNU Linux truly international. A lot of legacy programs would need to be completely rewritten to support i18n and there are many different methods used in those programs that currently support i18n. My current plan is limited to working on the user interactive scripting and menus for the OS rather than going into the programs. This means that most of the cl programs will remain in english and some of the gui programs. We may need to replace some of the default programs if they are too intransigent.
