Yes, it does. Any change to that would mean a major rebuild of the plugin and a lot of the related plugins as I18N Search and I18N Special Pages.
@mvlcek: I love your plugins and the I18n plugin is usually the first one to be installed. Especially the flexibility it offers in the navigation department, plus the fact that with your plugin you have turned GS into a multi-language system: Absolutely great stuff!
Having said that the points brought up by PiTRiS and danielg are something I've run into myself too and are factors that do hinder the use of GS in a multi-language capacity.
Unique slugs for the languages in question are a must really, especially from a SEO point of view.
I do understand it would take quite a bit of work on your part but at the same time it would turn a great plugin into an absolutely brilliant one. Plus it will give GS even more possible uses.
Also with regards to PiTRiS' other point, if you can enable the option to create unique pages in non-default languages it would be a fantastic addition too. The fact that this isn't possible at this point makes things rather difficult at times. Especially when using special pages for news. The content and/or number of pages/news items/products/etc will not always be the same in every language after all.
Lastly, xxdex suggestion recently to use a dropdown or something like that to select the language in question and show its pages is a very good one and would be a good addition too. When using multiple language things get awfully crowded.
