This is really quite simple.

Every RegistryObject has a name and description attribute. Each 
attribute is of type InternationalString.
An InternationalString can have multiple LocalizedString elements each 
representing the name or description in a specific charset and locale. 
So a name can be in any number of languages simultaneously.

In case of the freebXML Registry implementation our Registry Browser 
allow the user to specify a preferred locale and it then shows all 
content in that Locale or the closest match to that Locale.

Lastly, this locale issue has nothing to do with ClassificationSchemes 
per se. Not sure were that came into the conversation.
