Indeed, I started creating a proper build environment for it. It looks
like you have started fixing the po/ stuff, thanks :)

I don't know if removing the .gladestrings file and adding the .py files
will work though. To be honest I never saw translations for python
working. I assumed the way the fedora-config-* tools are build, works.

Most system-config-* tools on Fedora have a less complete build
environment (for they need to be installed on one distribution only).

We are still in the progress of moving the application away from that
way of working. The build environment was actually quick-search and
replaced using the sources of the system-config-samba tool on Fedora.

I added a configure.ac file with few things in it (for example the l18n
stuff)

Okay
