Possibility of translating configuration

This is maybe more a question about when, than if - because I expect it to happen some time anyway - just want it confirmed..

It's a big job translating the sql-queries, and with the constant changes and patches it almost hopeless to deliver anything in time.

So when will the text in the configuration be transfered into a language file?
It's not that big job, but maybe not top priority at the moment - but can we expect it to happen when rewriting admin in 1.6. And if so, is this years from now or?

Can you please say something about this?

And is it anyway to speed up the process?

The plans for this have not been finalized at the present time.

I also have this problem :-(
I update admin configuration.php & product_types.php for using language files. And add little simple utility to extract configuration_title and configuration_description from db to language file. All work fine but you must remember about this modifications while installing mod's, that used configuration table :-(

zencart German version does support bilingual in configuration table. Would it be possible to do something similar?

I'm not sure they really do..
I was taking a quick look and it seems like they only update/replace the data in the configuration table, e.g. same thing as everybody else?!
