I would  disagree with you about that (the extreme situation):

Since cups is used in many companies and in some academic facilities you can
be sure that the end users or IT-personal would prefer localized versions :

For example im working on a free  billing solution that end users without
computer skills will operate.
I believe that using a localized version will be much easier than an english
one for end users.

I use pykota as the user management
Cups.

The translation that the user has aren't so big (stored in doc) :
Pictures (buttons).
a Po file.

So a translated version could be :
full cups translated version -
 perhaps it can be done using some compile farm (i hope im using the right
term) -
since the only difference between translated and non translated is a
parameter to the Makefile.
but i don't wont to fork cups ;-)
Img - translation -
  Maybe using another package that will depend on cupsys and change it's
files (the buttons and the css file).

about the next i don't know:
I don't know about the usability of translation  if you need to recompile
the package and recreate it (this is what i understand that i need to do
now).

btw i don't know what is a huge translation -
Since the Ophear's version (Hebrew translation) translated all the messages
(the po file) .
The web gui  - he created all the buttons from scratch.
And changed the css file.

Afaik he changed the printing script.

If i have a mistake and you can change the gui / cli language just by one
setting please explain how.
