Well, I finally read the code and I agree with Tero. I also think that the use of gettext will be simpler for both developer and translator. In this way, every time a developer add a new string he need to write it twice, or another developer has to hack it. Instead with gettext the developer write his string, surrounded with _() or n_() and he's done (tell me, if I'm wrong). Furthermore people used to .po files (like me) will know what to do and are already provided with tools for that purpose (i.e. Vim :-) ). Can anyone explain me where and why a translated string in the UI should be searchable with a regular expression? (Maybe this question is due to the fact that I still don't understand sup internals...)
