Tracking translations in localized software

I created and maintain an open source Android app. Recently someone offered to translate my app into several other languages. At the same time, development continues on the app which can sometimes add string resources which need to be translated.

What is the extent of programming language localization dialects?

Apple’s scripting language AppleScript was designed with localization in mind; allowing the language to be represented in multiple dialects resembling languages from around the world.
In this way, using lexing and parsing tables, programs could be written in a style similar to that of the developer’s mothertongue (or otherwise).
Although English is the only supported dialect at the time, Apple originally implemented additional dialects in French and Japanese.
Furthermore, a ‘professional’ dialect resembling Java was considered.
