You mean, the function, such as 'message', that receives the string
will translate it?  As opposed to the alternative of translating the
string _before_ it gets passed to the function?

If we do that, how do we deal with strings that are computed by
concatenation or formatting?  They get in one piece to functions like
'message', but the catalog will not hold that concatenated string, it
will have the parts separately.  How will the function be able to look
up the translation in such cases?
