Drupal and multi-languages

From: Drupal and i18n, the holy grail? | webschuur.com

An interesting proposal in how to deal with language support in Drupal. With the i18n module not yet ported over to 4.7, it's an interesting time to consider what might be better ways of handling multiple language support.

Of concern to me is how categorization is handled. I would prefer if there were actually options to translate each category item (ie: vocab term) by language so that custom code that looks for specific taxonomy terms can support multiple languages more easily. This probably means reordering of how the taxonomy module works, but it's something to consider.
