I think this would be pretty tricky to do.  Translation is done through
gettext and I think locale setting is global one i.e. it affects the whole
Gramps.

Why not just run Gramps in that case from the command line with:
	LANG=<relative's language> gramps
?

If this is something you do often, next version of Gramps is able to
generate reports based on command line options i.e. you can automate
the whole report generation.  E.g. put into cron a shell script that will be
be executed monthly to run gramps to produce a report and then mail the
report to your relatives...
