It maybe intresting somebody, for example russian user, here russian edition version for VertSms. Changes:
1. Russian number (ex. +7(code)1234567 and 8(code)1234567) work correctly.
2. Russian interface and ability to send messages to Russian
This only little patch, and he need install original prog.

perhaps gettext integration would be ideal? Would make it easier for different translations to be created. If a package is made, perhaps "vertsms-l10n-ru' would be a good idea for the above?

This consideration is far more important IMHO than convenience. Another alternative would be to have the translation files on a server somewhere and have them downloaded on first run.
Not saying any of this should be considered now or in the near future though...

For example, for russian language use 8-bit encoding, with the size of each character - 2 bytes.
That is why the maximum length of the message of 70 characters instead of 160.

.......just tried this app - amazing!!! Who would have thought we could actually text in portrait on our N900?!!!!
.....at the moment - is there a way to enable Capital letters?! I tried hitting everything but just could not work it out......?!
The icing on the cake for this app will be (IMO) T9 texting mode.........
Keep up the good work.........

The program must be location aware. Further, it must know what strings can be localized.
Further, localization strings must be provided. The OS being local aware means nothing for the programs written for that OS.
1. Russian number (ex. +7(code)1234567 and 8(code)1234567) work correctly.
2. Russian interface and ability to send messages to Russian
