I've seen that but I'm trying to push the use of standard mechanism and
tools for translating maxima.
Why change and use gettext?
For many reasons...
- It's easyer to update the translations using tools like msgmerge or
msguniq
- You can use standard tools for translating like emacs (po-mode),
kbabel, poedit etc that really improve productivity of about
300%!
- You can use different encodings like UTF-8, iso-8859-1, etc
etc.
