It is not the right thing to do, because then you will still call 
gettext() for engine names. These may by coincidence be equal to a 
string with a translation, and then the engine name is changed in the 
combo box.

The min field of struct Option is alreday acting as a flag when the 
option is a combobox. I suggest adding another flag value to that field 
(and maybe define it as a union for clarity/documentation) to indicate 
when not to call gettext(). I can it do if you will accept more patches 
from me. I did send e-mail to FSF for registration, but their paperwork 
may take some time I suppose.
