Howdy all,
After the dust settles form the 0.49 release, I think it would be good to have a translation push. deken and the new editing functionality have brought some more strings and most of the languages are really just skeletons from Pd-extended. Those of us that are teaching may be able to ask some international students for help on this and it's relatively easy for non-developers to use poedit.
For the developers, could we consider building Pd with gettext support in the core? Then we could translate most of the internal strings without having to resort to string matching on the GUI side.

Here's a good overview of using gettext in C: http://www.labri.fr/perso/fleury/posts/programming/a-quick-gettext-tutorial.... http://www.labri.fr/perso/fleury/posts/programming/a-quick-gettext-tutorial.html
This is something that can implemented as a compile-time option.

what would be the benefit of that? conceptually, i *quite* like the idea of not doing translation work in the audio thread.
