I'm inclined to provide fallback by having Sugar synthesize a new directory of symlinked .mo files, as a composite of the available translation sets according to whatever rules we decide to employ. The activity can then be pointed to this directory with a single bindtextdomain call. I like this solution because (1) it minimizes the changes needed to activities, (2) it avoids forking gettext, and (3) it leaves the very tricky translation precedence logic in Glucose, which is where I think it belongs. This is especially important due to the complex interaction with security/containerization. --Ben
