right ? I recall a problem with trying to get the Spanish translation of
an obscure paper size (8.5" x 13" ) set as "Oficio" given that this

with gettext, it would be roughly something like
coding in file.cxx:
/* TRANSLATORS paper size (8.5" x 13" ) */
printf("Long Bond");

with xgettext --add-comments TRANSLATORS
the po-file for this language would then looks (after translation) like

#. paper size (8.5" x 13" )
#src: file.cxx 123
msgid "Long Bond"
msgstr "Oficio"


in crazy idea to go to gettext, when really time available : -)
