Nicely done guys and gals. Thanks for the patch! Your efforts are appreciated here [e digicons]:D[/e]

Well spoken, but I guess that just verifies my initial hunch: there is no real reason for localized-only versions, only for english-only versions (extra effort for translation, maybe re-scaling of interface elements or font size to allow for longer texts to be used). Tradition or following an example makes a poor motivation in my opinion, although I can see that this might be one of the main factors in this matter. Maybe the future will bring more possibilities.
