This has already been discussed quite a lot (e.g. it's one of the
items on the UX refactor page: <http://wiki.ckan.net/UX>) and I think
there is general agreement on this. The issue here is that it is a
(relatively) costly refactor so we are waiting for the right time to
do it (we can try doing it slightly 'hackily' by just using i18n but I
think this is a short term approach).
