Think it would be --lang=deutsch. Gotta internationalize the command-line flags too!

You are all being silly.

Obviously we would translate the name of the command itself, and the language would be implied

It's already there, I've often seen console output with translated error messages. Helpful for the users but not of much use to developers, unless using error codes as well
