The localisation problem is not necesarilly important.
In fact, each table could have its name written in the languange it is made for.
For example, french grade 1 would be "français abrégé".
So, going through the list, each one cold find the one he needs.
In fact, talking about NVDA, you have the same problem with the espeak tables
or variant and in this case we left all in english.

I've suggested something like this before. There are a couple of problems:
* There are many duplicates of tables. We would need people from each
language to work out which tables should actually remain and how they
should be described.
* This actually presents a localisation problem. For example, "German
grade 1" is written differently in German than it is in English. We
would still need to have the map in NVDA so that it can be translated.
