The N_() macro does nothing in the compiled program, but the xgettext
program will extract strings marked with it for translation. You need to
use this rather than _() because structure initialisers need to be
constant. All you need to remember is to use _(structname->field) to get
the labels to display in the GUI, so that the strings eventually get
translated. There is probably no point going through and fixing up
references at object initialisation time.
