No. The route was this:
- In an earlier msg I mentioned this as dxgettext limitation (since I ran
into it)
- In a later msg you said you got weary of dxgettext because of "problems"
with it.
- I replied that it was not a problem, but a limitation of the concept, and
that your system had it too.
I never asked you to have a solution for it. I don't see the particular
advantage of your system over gettext anyway.

If there is a _('whatever') (or whatever your notation is)
what do you assume about 'whatever' 's codepage?

_always_ ? Scary.
Anyway, my point was that you scan either which way. Source or binary.
The source has a build requirement, is architecture dependent and generally
more portable. Binary might be easier to only get the linkedin texts.
Actually proof of concept might be worthwhile for that purpose in combination
with gettext. OTOH, gettext alos translates stuff from resources (like
forms)
