Katrin has addressed this point.

I am very dubious whether that is a real possibility, considering that it's
been more more than four years since the feature was originally introduced, and
only now is somebody adding support for a third language.

In fact, I really hope that we have a better templating system in place long
before somebody contemplates adding a fourth language, as requiring a user to
change Perl code and binary files to customize their printed purchase orders
is, to put it mildly, less than ideal.

That still counts as broken.  Better to constrain the user to options that are
guaranteed to work.
