Hi Joaquin,
how about this.
In making the Lists dialog you'll label a radio button "Add To List".
Then you invent a new parameter for the strings.h file called
AP_STRING_DIALOG_LIST_Add_to_List "Add To List"
So then the other platforms can use the existing Abi mechanism and you can
use the translated *.po files with gettext.
It's not as nice as pure gettext but I think it would work. Maybe Kenneth
could be persuaded to produce a perl script that generates Strings.h
entries from _"Add To List" label in the glade XML file.
Cheers
Martin
