It doesn't use gettext() but the system is based on gettext(). And the point is not the UI. The point is the number of people who work on translateWiki and can produce translations in multiple languages quickly. If you prefer something more emacsy, I'm sure that can be done. I certainly prefer emacs: I have a mediawiki.el mode for writing wiki pages. I don't know enough to say whether _"string" is a viable way to mark up text in Emacs Lisp, but my first guess is that it isn't — not without work done to the internals. However, we could define a _ function so that we can wrap strings like this: (_ "message") Which wouldn't be a simple, but could work. > It is a deep misconception to think that Emacs is not for this kind of > people.

I hope not! If I can help emacs use spread to non-English-speaking secretaries by providing a multi-lingual weblogger.el, I'm all for it!
