I was going to point that out, but you beat me to it... Somehow I knew the
'z' was going to be a problem. :) Personally, however, I think 'i18n' is not
so great, as it is just too clever, and makes people do a double take.

You mentioned that Apple and Yahoo widgets use 'resources', although based
on [1] I don't see that happening (in Dashboard widgets the language
specific directories are at the root level; in Mac OS X native apps they are
in 'Contents/Resources' inside the bundle). Anyway I don't see a big problem
there, because these are "files used by widgets" after all, they're just
organized in directories by language tag.

If not 'resources', here are more suggestions: 'res', 'global', 'lang',
'languages', 'local', 'locales'.
