No sure I understand: what part(s) we would need to implement from
scratch?  We already have the capability of inserting arbitrary
non-ASCII text into any buffer and displaying such text as echo area
messages.

No, I mean how many catalogs should we have and what should be their
granularity.  Also, how to merge several catalogs (the need for this
might disappear if, for example, we decide that each .el file will
have its own catalog), and how to load catalogs on demand when the
corresponding code is loaded/executed.

How would such a survey help us?  We generally want all of the strings
that are displayed to the user translated.  We don't need any survey
for that decision.
