AppleScript was designed for this sort of localisation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleScript#AppleScript_dialects


"French and Japanese dialects were also produced. (A C dialect was  
publicly discussed, but never shipped.) A dialect could redefine the  
keywords and even the grammar of the language, so that, for instance,  
commands in the Japanese dialect had the verb at the end"
There's stuff above here
