The patch itself it fine. I'm wondering a bit about context. We have a 
"gettext" modules that handles:

   - creating of "message catalogs" file from text translation files
   - updating text translation files from sources

This is using GNU gettext tools. Does Microsoft provides anything for solving 
the second issue. If not, no problem, I'll add a comment and commit the patch.
If yes, no problem I'll add a comment and commi the patch. Just want to 
clarify the matter.

Thanks,
Volodya
