What will you do with that that wouldn't be better done by calling
getObjectDescription? The latter's output is somewhat localizable, but
individual words would be hard to translate.

It would likely be better to not expose the struct type, just individual
lookup functions.

Again, I think this is too low level because of message translation
considerations.
