I ACK the NAK ;-) - that sounds really insane.

What about this:

Let the initscript
1) check which locales are installed
2) find out how ~/documents is named in each of those locales
3) do the same for other directories that have localized names
4) and then write it as variable to tunables/dirs-in-home
  (together with a note "auto-generated, don't edit")

performance tuning: cache the list of previously existing locales and 
compare it to the results of 1). If nothing changed, you don't need to 
do 2, 3 and 4.
 

If a user still has ~/documents and ~/Dokumente and really cares, he can 
tighten it with a user profile ;-)


Regards,

Christian Boltz
