Good start so far. A bunch more todos:
* get staprun/stapio and the compile-server binaries to use gettext()
* define the _() macro conditionally, based on ENABLE_NLS, so if !ENABLE_NLS,
we don't make any gettext calls at all
* examine the runtime/* code (apart from runtime/staprun), to move any embedded
english strings to the translator. It can emit #define MSG_FOO _("msg")
translated strings for it, which the runtime can use via those MSG_* macros.
* write up a little po/README file, outlining how developers ought regenerate
the i18n data, especially the po/POTFILES.in filename list, the po/LINGUAS
language list, and "make -C po update-po".
* hand-create a fake translation for some random language for some messages,
to test its handling of LANG != en*
* open new bugs against the compile-server and the remote-execution widget
to pass (carefully!) the LC_*/LANG* variables to their network peers.
* invite the fedora translator project (?) to take a whack at
* investigate whether any shell scripts we ship (dtrace, initscripts) could
also benefit from gettextizing their text messages
* announce it in the NEWS
Some of these can be deferred to later bugs.
