I found a short two year old thread on guile-user, that stops short with a patch that fails. For the upcoming LilyPond 3.0, we have moved even more functionality from C++ to guile, and along with this messages that are exposed to the user. These need to be ornamented and translated. I'm wondering whether we should duplicate a list of all messages in C code for xgettext to find, and do all printing of user messages through a C gettext wrapper?
