The gettext manual proposes to use sgettext(). You pass a string to it 
that has a more explaining prefix. For example sgettext("DOCUMENT|New") 
or sgettext("FILE|New") if it does not find a translation for it it will 
strip every thing before the last '|', so it returns only "New". Since 
the separator character ('|') may not work for everyone and the function 
is relative simple, sgettext is not part of the API. In elitaire I use 
the following function:

inline char *
sgettext(const char *msgid)
{
    char *msgval = gettext(msgid);
    if (msgval == msgid)
        msgval = strrchr(msgid, '|') + 1;
    return msgval;
}
