And if you are opposing to the automatic generation, we could write the strings directly to C file as IupUser structure - (if it is sub-optimal from a translator point of view). My main objective was adding the Czech language. And then seeing that doing it is not scalable, I realized that the localization should be changed so that adding a new translation is easy and without touching the code. So, what solution do you suggest?
