Technically, the IDE could replace all translated strings in the source code 
by strings coming from a translation file. But then you would have modified 
the original source code. 

I admit it may be useful on some projects. But don't expect that projects not 
designed and written for internationalization will be made fully understable 
if the translated strings are replaced by strings of your native language. 
Variables, symbol names, and comments are more important!
