gnulib translations (was: strerror translations)

If this is done, the translators should be made aware that they can fetch
the translations from the libc PO file.

But I'm a bit confused about the state of the gnulib translations:

  - I don't know how many people are following the methodology mentioned in
    the gnulib manual
    <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Localization.html>.
  - This mail is still unanswered:
    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-05/msg00226.html>.

I'd say, before adding many new strings for the translators to process, we
should make sure that we are making good use of the work the translators
are producing. Any volunteer?
