yes... use the gettext unit provided in the FCL.


TMOFile = class
   ...
   constructor Create(const AFilename: String); 

   constructor Create(AStream: TStream);
   ...
   function Translate(AOrig: String): String;
end;


so just use it this way:

TranslStrings := TMOFile('test.mo');
try
   WriteLn('Translated: ', TranslStrings.Translate('Some test string'));
finally
   TranslStrings.Free;
end;

In the long term I think we'll switch to a procedural approach, so that 
gettext can be used within the RTL.
