Does it?

A guideline should be _(...) as late as possible, prefferably just

no...

string str(_("some text"));

is certainly legal.

I would actually prefere:

string str;
if (some choice) {
        str = getDescription();
}
fl_set_object(label(obj, _(str));


But I am not sure if everybody else agrees with me on that.
