No. That's not going to work: pygettext needs to be able to extract
the string for the catalogs. No markup, no extraction. (This is how
you enter strings that are not meant to be translated.)
I know; I wrote pygettext. You can pass the

Yes, definitely. For example, in Mailman we bind _() not to gettext's
_() but to a special one that looks up the translation

By doing that, you just need to care about one function (of course _
doesn't translate in that case and you might need to del _ afterwards).
That's essentially

If you have many fragments, the translator gets the challenge of

I'm more dubious about this one, because I don't really see the point.
