Re-encoding?

AFAIK the only reason to have the guile-strings.c file is that the
standard tools that build the .po files don't know how to find strings
in a scheme file.  The xgettext.scm file handles that.

All scheme code that displays strings must call the gettext routines to
perform locale translation before displaying the string.  This
requirement is no different than in C code.

Does this answer your question?
