Sorry, didn't word that very well. GTK /does/ include translations for
the built-in stock items (gtk-add, etc.).
The only time you need to write your own translations is if you're
registering
stock items yourself with gtk.stock_add() for use elsewhere in your
application - for example, if you're writing a mail client you might want
to
register a stock item called "myapp-reply-to-sender" that you can then use
in
menus and on toolbar buttons.
