with no external dependency?

Then check out the I18N project:

Perfect! Well done & presented (as usual ;-)

The way I see it, that is all there is to it.

I like it that a single image can translate into multiple languages.

I guess some people would also like

String>>#translated
  ^ I18NTranslator defaultTranslator at: self

I assume that the actual storage is open ended to also allow databases and so on ?

I18N is nothing fancy, but thanks. Hope it is usefull for others too.

Yes - at least it solved my basic needs so far and maybe it helps us thinking
about more internationalized applications for Pharo (or I18N the Pharo image
itself)

You decide where your translations come from/are loaded from. I use INIFile as it is plain
simple to do.

Internally I18NTranslator  is nothing more than a simple object handling dictionaries. So the
strings usually will be stored with the image (or flushed out and reloaded again at startup).

If necessary the code can be refactored so that multiple storage backends or a
cache can be added. Not on my todo list so far.

Nice for project with a delimited scope.
Problem: you cut yourself from translators aggregated in oneline free
software community. For example https://translations.launchpad.net/drgeo
For DrGeo this is a show stopper.
