A valid question, and one I've asked myself.  I'm not actually deep
enough into the project to say for sure, but it would look a bit
different from the way it currently looks if you wanted to make a
Grand Unified Project: not only the user interface, but also the
policies would have to be multilingual: if a fr-ca user logs in, she
should see a project in her language.  I don't think you can do this
with the current setup.
