Maybe we can support this with some options? If LC_MESSAGE specifics a POSIX locale then the default behaviour should be whatever POSIX specifics. So I suppose we could default to printing our specific stuff if it is not a POSIX locale...

Yes, Marco Gerards suggested that we could print the PID of the active translator. But I still have my doubts about this. But yeah, active translators should be handled in a similar way I think. -- Alfred M.
