It is 3.1.4k, obtained from http://www.skeeve.com/gawk-3.1.4k.tar.gz.
The Translation Project lists this location as the recent source
reference for translators.

well. Just try configuring gawk and `grep HAVE_LC_MESSAGES config.h',
you'll see '/* #undef HAVE_LC_MESSAGES */'

I'd say it should be fixed in gettext, since gawk is not the only
program using AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]).
