In principle it is possible through the use of Struts modules 
<https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Architecture#Architecture-3.2> 
and/or overloading resource bundles: 
<https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Architecture#Architecture-3.4>. 
I would recommend setting up your own module to keep any customisations 
separate from the core Grouper code, and set up a number of 'locales'. You 
can then choose your 'instance' by passing a 'lang' parameter  (really the 
locale string) at login. If present, Struts will then load resources 
(media.properties, nav.properties, tiles-def.xml) based on the locale - 
using the defaults for any elements you don't choose to override.

Of course you could also run completely separate instances.
