Comment (by pulkomandy):
The first patch looks fine.
The second one is not :)
When translating stuff that ends up built in libbe, you can't use the
usual system to get your catalog. The current solution is to have a
special catalog just for that purpose.
This special catalog is reached by the special LocaleBackend() class and
the instance pointer gLocaleBackend. Your B_TRANSLATE macro does that
properly, but you need to call it when translating something. As this is
not the normal B_TRANSLATE_MACRO, the collectcatkeys tool will not see it,
and you also have to use B_TRANSLATE_MARK on the strings constants (which
you did just fine). So, just add the missing B_TRANSLATE calls (likely
when filling in the BMessage that is sent to the preflet ?) and it should
be fine.
As for add-ons, they can use the regular catalog system without any
problem (get the english text from resources, then translate). As they are
add-ons, they don't have to go through libbe and it _should_ work as
usual.
