of course everyone can write his own Splitter... one for german, one for 
french,
etc.pp. but what is the problem with the patch? is pythons-regexp (?L) 
not just intended for this simple way of "localizing" software?

and think of the european market:

no one will "buy" Zope, if it is not working with your native language 
out of the box. and that's what the patch for...
