This is what I mean.

The edit would modify the file.
If the documentation had been in the oiginal English then an edit
would modify that original English. If the displayed documentation
were to be the Japanese string, then the Japanese data would be
edited (to eventually be later saved).
Although I am sure I don't understand all the implications of what I
just wrote and all the implication of using gettext for the whole
localization process, my impression is that by using the compiled
data provided by gettext we considerably limit ourselves regarding
how much flexibility we can have with the textual data provided by
the translations.
This is one of the reason why at first I imagined a kind of
specialized "code folding" device to display only the locale relevant
translated documentation strings.
