Kconfig is different since the target audience and the majority of users are not kernel developers.

Well, hardly. The percentages quoted vary wildly with the point someone is trying to make but "user users" are expected to just use whatever their distribution provided them with meaning the Kconfig target audience is developers and "power users". Enough of the latter around certainly but I have no indication whatsoever that a significant number of them is lost in the water without Kconfig translations either.

Internationalization is not very useful, has great potential to introduce even more chronically bit-rotting content and is finally counter-productive in maintaining a non-forking single community, at least in so far as it is today. One should spit on internationalization.
