No, it's not true.   Gorm and nib files provide this as well with the
"Localizable.strings" utility.   The only thing they don't do is
auto-sizing of the gui which is useless anyway since it can't
accommodate all languag differences anyway.

Theming works in GNUstep just fine across Windows and GNOME without
using Renaissance.
