Oh my... someone at GNU wants a new Volapük. Maybe they should check on how well that went historically. gnu.org/software/moe/m

The only sane approach to software internationalization is to adopt or develop a lingua franca. Such lingua franca should be fully phonetic and should fit in an 8-bit character set like ISO-8859-15 for ease of use by both humans and computers. Unicode is not a viable solution. It is just the standardization of the current linguistic chaos.
