There are four parts required for translations the way we're going to end
up doing them.

1) the text generated by the scripts.  This should you gettext and .po
files (similar to what you mentioned above).

2) the text in the html templates.  This will be different for each
template, and will need to be kept up to date seperately.

3) the text within images.  This will also need to be separately
maintained.

4) the text within the DB.  This will be maintained by the library itself,
so we don't really need to worry about it.
