Problem: Cannot translate messages in a Vim script.
Solution: Add gettext(). Try it out for a few messages in the options
window.

gettabwinvar({tabnr}, {winnr}, {name} [, {def}])
any {name} in {winnr} in tab page {tabnr}
gettagstack([{nr}]) Dict get the tag stack of window {nr}
+gettext({text}) String lookup translation of {text}
getwininfo([{winid}]) List list of info about each window
getwinpos([{timeout}]) List X and Y coord in pixels of the Vim window
getwinposx() Number X coord in pixels of the Vim window
Can also be used as a |method|: >
GetWinnr()->gettagstack()
+
+gettext({text}) *gettext()*
+ Translate {text} if possible.
+ This is mainly for use in the distributed Vim scripts. When
+ generating message translations the {text} is extracted by
+ xgettext, the translator can add the translated message in the
+ .po file and Vim will lookup the translation when gettext() is
+ called.
+ For {text} double quoted strings are preferred, because
+ xgettext does not understand escaping in single quoted
+ strings.
+
+
getwininfo([{winid}]) *getwininfo()*
Returns information about windows as a |List| with Dictionaries.
execute() execute an Ex command and get the output
win_execute() like execute() but in a specified window
trim() trim characters from a string
+ gettext() lookup message translation
List manipulation: *list-functions*
get() get an item without error for wrong index

(2) Translate
See the gettext documentation on how to do this. You can also find
- examples in the other po files.
+ examples in the other po files. You can use "gF" on the file name to see
+ the context of the message.
Search the po file for items that require translation:
/fuzzy\|^msgstr ""\(\n"\)\@!
Look out for syntax errors and fix them.
+(6) Local tryout:
+ Vim normally picks up the .mo files from:
+ $VIMRUNTIME/lang/{lang}/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
+ To try out the messages with Vim use:
+ make tryoutinstall
+ And run Vim with $VIMRUNTIME set to ../runtime
