There are a few things to remember when you add internationalization
capabilities to an application.

1. All sourcefiles containing _(), or N_() marked strings must
#include <config.h>.

2. The language in question must be added to configure.in in the
top srcdir.

3. The message catalog must be compiled and installed.

4. The locale must be set to the desired language.
