I believe pacman 3.0 will have pretty complete support for i18n via gettext. A recent post from Judd in the pacman ML suggests so at any rate.

Cheers!  I've merged most of your first patch.  A lot of the chunks
didn't patch in cleanly, so it's mostly a manual process.  Looks like
the FW and Arch versions of pacman have diverged quite a bit.  Hopefully
we can get more of it merged down the road.
