ksh93 does support localized messages strings in scripts.

Any string within a script that needs to be localized has to be
written as
        $"string"
In the C or POSIX locale this will be treated as "string".

If you run
        ksh -D script
it will generate the list of strings that need localization.

These can be put into a catalog for the C local.

The catalogs for each locale can be created.
