It's planned, but I dunno yet how. I hate locale/gettext stuff.
I think that "help wizard" messages (for example: Did you copied codecs.conf
to xyz? download codecs pack from ftp:... and install this way: ... )
should go to a new file, maybe a .h file defined as constants.
configure should have an option to choosee language, and use the proper
language helps.h file.

But I agree with LGB in that normal program messages (like 'segmentation
fault' :)) shouldn't be translated.

it's flejátszó :)
(movie -> film. or do you mean movie -> mozgókép ? :))

Agree.

I think that multi-line detailed help and hint messages should be translated
too. later when GUI is integrated, they should be displayed in a nice window
with an animated picture of a wizard :)
