Let's say that's a start ;-)

That's a nice step forward for sure !
Nevertheless, after diving into this yesterday and tonight, I think that
being able to use tools such as OmegaT, POedit and Crowdin (
https://support.crowdin.com/translation-process-overview/, playing at
setting this up to see how that really [could] work:
https://crowdin.com/project/linuxcnc) would really help translators work
and maybe build a team for this task...
To better benefit these, it seems preferable that l10n strings be stored in
dedicated files rather than embedded in source files. So could be that
adding gettext support to comps could be more better suited...

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean about man pages :/

... well, at first sight, it seems that tools mentioned above all tend to
like the one directory per language organization, like we already have for
man pages.
