Comment (by pulkomandy):
No. The locale kit can't track what you do with the strings you requested
from it. So you have to tell all your views to refresh, or refresh your
textmode display for CLI apps, or whatever. This needs careful coding
because you must make sure you don't query for a string using B_TRANSLATE
while you're in the process of switching catalogs. Whike it is possible to
make sure this doesn't happen with locking on every B_TRANSLATE call, the
result would be an even slower locale kit. Not really a nice idea. So,
it's up to the application to handle that when it can do it safely.
