Yes. My approach was different I too help_mp-en.h and help_mp-cz. And
created po files from them for texts already translated.

There is text with help. This text is different for every machine
depending on users options at configure process. So to have this
translated You must "customize" msgstr and msgid pair in po file.

Here it goes. What it does? It takes help_mp-en.h, help_mp-cz.h and
configure.h an produces cs.po. Should be easily adapted to different
language by choosing proper .h file.

I've also included cs.po file as a sample output.
