It just knows the translation for some strings and modify the files
accordingly. I do *not* want to make messages files and then use gettext()
on the strings I want to translate because I want the files to be
easily editable by everyone, and because my program is written in Perl
and there's no real support for gettext in Perl actually. If the gettext
methods could be dynamically linked in Perl, maybe I'd give a try to it.
