## Internationalisation with Libglade

Glade files mark properties for translation with the `translatable` property of the `<property>` element:

    <widget class="GtkLabel" id="label1">
      <property name="label" translatable="yes">Foo</property>
      ...
    </widget>

Libglade will translate marked properties using the translation domain specified in the `glade_xml_new()` (or the default domain if `NULL`).

Libglade also supports disambiguating properties by prefixing them with a |-separated context string, e.g. "Menu/Printer|Open" vs. "Menu/File|Open". You must tell Libglade that the property has a prefix by setting the `context` attribute of the `<property>` element to "yes". To learn more about this technique, read the chapter "How to use gettext in GUI programs" in the gettext manual, and see the GLib API documentation for g_strip_context().

To add the strings found in a glade file to your translation catalog template through the use of intltool. (XXXX - does this actually work yet?).
