 In the following function:

sub debug($) {
  $a = $$debugcmd ? "enabled" : "disabled";
  yesnobox(sprintf(gettext("Selecting YES will enable debugging.  Selecting NO 
will disable it. Debugging is presently %s."), $a), gettext("Debug Command"));
  if( $result ) { # true $result means no.
[...]

The sentence "Selecting YES will enable..." will be translated if a
non-English locale is used, but the words "enabled" and "disabled" will not.
One solution would be to enclose them in a gettext() function, like this:

$a = $$debugcmd ? gettext("enabled") : gettext("disabled");

 But as it is possible that "enabled" and "disabled" are or will be used in
other sentences, the same translation would not make sense for all of those
sentences, so a better solution would be to translate a full sentence,
transforming the first two statements in the function above, into:

  $a = $$debugcmd ? gettext("Debugging is presently enabled.") : 
gettext("Debugging is presently disabled.");
  yesnobox(sprintf(gettext("Selecting YES will enable debugging.  Selecting NO 
will disable it. %s"), $a), gettext("Debug Command"));
