Can you explain to me how gettext actually works and how HylaFAX would 
use it in this situation?

I can already think of a simple approach in the same dictionary-fashion 
that we're doing that would work - and I was about to code that up ... 
but I'm certainly open to seeing a better mousetrap.

But the honest truth is that when I read GNU's gettext documentation and 
the gettext man page I am disappointed about how cumbersome it all looks 
to use in comparison to stuff like:

 DICTHELLO="hola"
 echo $DICTHELLO

Yeah, that looks very unsophisticated... but it gets the job done.  
Maybe I'm just misunderstanding gettext.

Again, I'm happy to use a better mousetrap... but can someone explain to 
me how gettext works for our situation, and why using gettext would be 
an advantage over the way it's being done now?

Thanks,

Lee.
