You mean, you are using the UseGettext declaration and Gettext function
as described in
   
http://www.fvwm.org/documentation/manpages/unstable/FvwmScript.php?theme=plain
?

Where does the syntax $[gt.XXXXXXXX] come from?

What precisely do you want to do, and how can the GNU gettext tools help?
Extend a pot file called FvwmScript.pot? Create a new pot file?
