On the surface the idea sounds sensible. Maybe there are some issues relating 
to consistency across the whole ports tree in the way languages are handled.

I see no solution being intrinsically better than any other but would tend to 
favour a consistent approach for all language. We already have one built in 
inconsistencyt -- i.e. english is handled different;ly than any other.

IMHO one inconsistency is enough!!
