I wouldn't recommend this. Sounds like a lot of work. IMHO, on Unix this 
should be handled by LC_ALL (and similar) environment variables. If 
someone wants always a different language just for this application, he 
can always start it like this:

export LC_ALL=cs_CZ; ./lazarus

i.e., I recommend no explicit language switching inside IDE. Of course, 
I assume that FPC has some means of runtime resourcestring substitution 
from compiled .po files like other gettext (C) programs under Linux have?
