Is it possible to load the whole folder of language files?

Let's assume i have created the language files and i want to load each and every one of them at once (with parent contstructor or so).
Note that each text line is checked to have a unique language_key.

Is this possible?

Thanks

This is interesting as I'm considering making my app language friendly, would be interested in hearing the options.
