Here's what the ISO C standard says about the conditional operator:

«The first operand is evaluated; there is a sequence point after its
evaluation. The second operand is evaluated only if the first compares
unequal to 0; the third operand is evaluated only if the first compares
equal to 0; the result is the value of the second or third operand
(whichever is evaluated), converted to the type described below.)»

Of course, it's still possible that the resulting code will contain two
distinct places where gettext is called; but in any case there will be
only one actual call.
