i18n, gettext support?

[Jan Nieuwenhuizen]

Hi,

What's the preferred way to internationalise GUILE code?

I found a short two year old thread on guile-user, that stops short
with a patch that fails.

For the upcoming LilyPond 3.0, we have moved even more functionality
from C++ to guile, and along with this messages that are exposed to
the user.  These need to be ornamented and translated.

I'm wondering whether we should duplicate a list of all messages in C
code for xgettext to find, and do all printing of user messages
through a C gettext wrapper?

Greetings,
Jan.
