I would think boost uses gettext under the hood for the runtime translations no ? (gettext is the standard right ?)... fwiw, GtkBuilder also uses gettext to translate strings at runtime using the compiled .mo files).

For intltool, I'm only referring to that as a tool to use at build time, I.e, that's what you use to extract all of the translatable strings and merge them into the .po files for translation.

There may be other solutions to extract translatable strings from glade files (gtk+ uses a custom method instead of intltool to update the .po files).

Anyway good luck, hopefully it won't be too difficult to use the existing machinery.

Cheers,
