No, there are no immediate plans by us to implement that "really soon"
:) But it nevertheless is possible, see below for quite an easy solution
to that problem.

in conf/config.xml add

<config>
<options>
<sitename_de>Seitenname</sitename_de>
<sitename_en>Sitename</sitename_en>
..
</options>
</config>


and then in master.xsl
replace

<xsl:variable name="sitename"
select="php:functionString('bx_helpers_config::getOption','sitename')"/>

with

<xsl:value-of
select="php:functionString('bx_helpers_config::getOption',concat('sitename_',$lang))"/>

that should do it, but I didn't test it :)

Basically you can add any option you want to use in config.xml.
