This is obviously a design problem and has little to do with
localization proper.
The localized functions must map to some language agnostic key in the
code and then any localization of the function names (as is the case
with OpenOffice.org right now) becomes a non problematic task.
But I am not arguing that current function names in emacs should be
localized. For me they are _already_ arbitrary strings that bear
little resemblance to English (defun anybody ?).
