Unfortunately, this would mean modifying your DTD for each language, which
in turn means changing your code.  So if somebody came along that wanted to 
add a language, everybody would need to rebuild their code.

Perhaps something can be done with additional language DTDs that are 
independent of the EDUML base.  That way, a program wouldn't need to know
all DTDs that could possibly exist - it would just read whichever one it 
was given.  So people could add DTDs on demand for new languages.  It 
would also, if done generically enough, let you translate between any 
languages,
not just English->new language.
