Note that "Project" and "Project talk" already work on any wiki. They
are the canonical names for the namespace in question.
Namespaces have:
* a localised/standard name for the local wiki (based on configuration like Wikipedia
and/or localisation like Usario).
* a canonical name (that is language and wiki independent, except for extra custom
namespaces where the localised name becomes the canonical one, but project is not an extra
custom namespace).
* aliases (alternate translations or legacy names, such as "Image").

wikis and so on.
I think you may be misunderstanding the proposal. I think it's proposing to use
standard namespace names for the project namespace, rather than wiki-specific ones like
the Wikipedia namespace.
That's not the same as not localizing the standard namespaces. For instance, Spanish
Wikipedia uses the standard namespaces for e.g. User (Usario) and Category (Categoría)
(that means e.g. Usario:Foo and User:Foo both work).
However, it uses Wikipedia for the meta namespace. Under this, it seems by default a new
Spanish wiki would use Proyecto, with Project also working and referring to the same
page.
