I'm not sure if gnocky uses any of them...

There should be (almost) none translatable strings within libgnokii.
The only ones I am aware of are: config file parsing things, error
messages. In most other cases they are not needed. Oh, well. There are
more nowadays: all *2str() functions. I still think it would be better
to have common vocabulary and phrases translation in just one place.

xgnokii and gnokii (and probably some other user apps) should use the
same naming schema, same labels, same messages, same names. It's
misleading when something called in app A is called X but in app B is
called Y.

take care,
