Can we localize things with Lua?

I am wondering if it's possible to localize map names and descriptions, and probably many other things using Lua, most likely somewhere in the shell. Thanks in advance.

You mean like, set the text values of localization keys? Something like SetLocalizeKey("level.EUR.cp1", "English", "Hangar")? If so, then I don't think so, but I sure wish there were!

I wasn't really wanting something like that. If I added a source string, why not just fill in the source string?
What I wanted is... Let's say we have a map name that's unlocalized (we cannot add a source entry for it) so it looks like dea1%_% on the list of maps.
Now, I am wondering if it is possible to give that map code an actual name using some scripting somewhere in the shell, possible in missionlist.lua or shell_interface.lua.
