Subject: Internationalisation of Gnome dialogs

Bob's report of persistent English text in the goto dialog made me realise
there is a general problem with the Gnome dialogs. They all use stock
Gnome buttons, which are apparently not internationalised. So a stock
Gnome Next button says "Next", for example, and not
AP_STRING_ID_DIALOG_GOTO_BTN_NEXT.
Now presumably the Gnome buttons _are_ internationalisable... I would be
very surprised if Senor de Icaza overlooked this. So how does one do this?
Is this related to the frequent calls for the use of gettext? If so, then
this would be one answer to Eric's recent query about what end-user
benefit there would be in changing the l10n system.
Does i18n of the Gnome buttons rely on i18n of Gnome itself? If so, then
we self-appointed translators of the less well-supported languages have a
lot of work to do... Or is there some way we can make this happen within
AbiWord itself?
