I don't understand - is there actual intention to internationalize the 
gdb commands themselves?  When we talk about i18n'ing gdb, my reaction 
would be internationalizing the _output messages_ -- the errors, the 
warnings, the help text.  Do you mean to say that it's a goal of yours 
to support something like

(gdb) 表示environment

in place of "show environment".  Or 「(gdb) 表示環境」 (which is just painful 
to the eye in either language :-) to make it all Japanese.

Just MHO, but internationalizing the actual gdb commands is not 
particularly helpful for non-English native speakers.  
Internationalizing help/warning/errors would be very useful for them.  
Am I misunderstanding Daniel's patch?
