Localization of dhall (interpreter & material)

While translating the learnXinYminutes entry to German, I was wondering about the general theme of making dhall available in multiple languages.

Noticing the Typescript compiler’s --locale flag a day or so later really hit home:

What do you think of providing localization of the website and the dhall compiler messages (dhall-haskell for starters, but it might be advisable to have one source of error message texts which each implementation can use).

I think the main issue is that anything we localize will be harder to edit/refactor as we support more languages.

However, if people don’t mind translations lagging behind English documentation then I think this is a great idea
