I've heard that when the folks at Red Hat decided to add i18n to their
installer, they used a filter program to translate the existing
english-language prompts into "redneck".  That way, english-speaking
developers could still use the software when testing the completeness of
the i18n work.

Perhaps you could do the same as a way to get your test data.
