Yes.  Unfortunately, I don't know what it is.  I just took a patch from
SourceForge and applied it, then asked around for translations.  I'm
sure there's something you'll need to do at application-level to make
gettext() actually translate Optik's strings, but I don't know what it
is.

Perhaps the author of that patch, Leon J. Breedt, could help -- hence
I'm cc'ing him on this message.
