Nice! I did Linux from Scratch a couple times but I never used it long-term.

Right. :) I did this years ago, after noticing comments in config files aren't 
usually translated. How do you like it? Pretty simple, though I suppose a more 
experienced developer might change a few things.

Of course, that actually is dependent on translators coming by to do 
translations...

I assume you're somewhat familiar with GNU gettext? The strings get written to 
po files...
