Comment(by korakurider):

 This feature needs several enhancement:

 + Enhancement to translation engine.  Proposed patch (multiFallback-
 KR.1.cs) has been attached.

 + Enhancement to locale plugin so that multiple languages setting in base
 operating system (e.g. $LANGUAGE) will be passed to Etoys.

 + User interface for the setting in image.

 Difficult point is how to control which font will be used for each
 languages;  It shouldn't be that one "universal" font covers all possible
 code points.  So we might want to assign set of fonts when
 $LANGUAGE="mn:ja_JP", but this is not possible in current design of
 Squeak.
