This proposal makes no sense: all these namespaces _are_ dependent on wiki language, so even if you force "Project" down the throats of non-English users, project talk would still be e.g. Project_ахцәажәара for Abkhazian 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.
