I had a quick look at that patch. It uses catgets(), which is Posix. An 
alternative would be to use gnu gettext where the impact on the source code 
is less. A third option is to use the X resources (I seem to recall that it 
is possible to override strings of menus/dialogs in ~/.Xdefaults ?)

That is a bigger problem. The world is moving toward utf-8 and nedit doesn't 
support it. It is not that often I need highbit characters, but when I do it 
is irritating to jump out into vi/vim.
