I guess there is a formal definition of the zsh grammar somewhere, like
an EBNF or something. Then that is the consensus on top on which you can
build anything that is not unparsable according to that grammar. And zsh
most probably is TuringComplete so basically you might build anything
with it, including a parser for an other programming language. But the
important thing for the internationalisation research underlying this
experimentation is "how much can you localise the programming interface
in an integrated way, that is how much the localised version works (and
bugs) as the non-localised version?"
