Shaouldn't that happen automatically though the POSIX i18n stuff?
Hypothetical platforms that dont support POSIX could fake it up easily,
its just an environment variable.
Some work could be taken off the plugin by letting the host pick a
metadata file (where one is provided) based on an extension or name
component. For example metadata-en_GB.txt, assuming the metadata
syntax chosen doesnt have builtin i18n support.
