You could move that block of 6 lines (lines 591..596) to a template in C syntax,
have the generator slurp in and reproduce the template, and have xgettext
parse that template.

xgettext does not require that the input files are complete valid C files,
just that they use C syntax. In other words, parts of a body of a function is
OK.
