Has anyone started working on this? I'm having some troubles groking
how it really would work, gettext() is for C but many messages in
Emacs come from elisp code. gettext.el?
I notice that people have thought about this problem for Guile (e.g.,
http://www.glug.org/patches/2001-07-29.gettext-support/). Guile
support would be nice..
