Translating message strings is (I think) somewhat simpler. I have XPG/4 tools which would allow this to be done using macros in the source code to derive the initial "C" locale catalog from the source code. It could be re-derived, as necessary. The need to perform translation is really trivial, compared to this. I am willing to make these tools available. They do not understand "#if" based block comments (for obvious reasons), and they do not understand C++ sytle comments, but they should be usable against perl, C, and C++ code because of the regularity of the grammar. The tool is, in effect, a source post processor combined with a set of preprocessor macros for inclusion in the code (perl people would need to roll their own).
