But the Emacs Lisp interpreter is a C program, and as such, it could

While the way to mark translatable strings should be Lisp-friendly,
there's nothing to prevent us from using the translation in low-level
C code.  Why should a Lisp programmer care if the marked string gets
magically translated without any need for Lisp-level changes?
