I have opted for another approach. I simply read the file hdf_read_file and
traverse the whole HDF tree extracting values of the nodes marked with
"lang" attribute.  For runtime translatiion I do the same but replace these
values with their translation.

For templates I use similar approach: I parse them, then traverse the parse
tree, looking for "_" function calls, checking if their arguments are
(possibly concatenated) strings and extract them. This has its downside:
included sources get processed too.

Nick
