No @vokvince, I’m not 
, that’s why I mentioned @DMehaffy (a Strapi employee) to officially confirm it. I do believe it will be very soon, there is a lot of activity on/into the features/i18n branch on the main repo.
You could manage it in the way I mentioned above, by using a field per language, something like title_fr and title_en. This however still needs a lot of custom logic and ‘merging’ in the controllers. This is probably not going to be compatible with the new plugin/feature, so totally not worth spending time on so close before the new feature release.
