Comment (by kovshenin):

 I'm not sure having permalinks structure be constructed via translation
 files is a great idea. If anything changes we have to flush rules for
 every site that's affected, which means old links will change and it won't
 be easy to catch everything with redirects.

 As an example, consider we localize the "sponsor" slug in ru_RU, a
 contributor then submits a translation for Russian, where the "sponsor"
 slug is changed to "спонсоры". This creates three problems:

 1. No way to opt-out of cyrillic in URLs per WordCamp in one locale
 1. All rewrite rules on previous WordCamps must be flushed, leading to
 1. All previous WordCamps that linked to the "sponsor" slug will now have
 a bunch of 404s

 The other option I could think of is to provide a "sponsor base" option,
 much like "category base" in core, or the topics and forums slugs in
 bbPress.
