Well, I thought you were just looking for a quick-and-dirty way to do
in-house testing. Your release versions would have to use localized
descriptions. But the process of localizing the descriptions in IB is not
apt to break any code, so you could feel pretty comfortable doing that as a
last stage before localized release, after testing with your English
descriptions.
