That's outdated by 14 months (gtk 2.0 was released march 2002).

Either
- patch glade-- to generate it (disable the 
"Configuration.gettext_support && !Configuration.gnome_support && 
Configuration.Gtkmm1()" if in line 545 of glade--.cc, e.g. prepend it by 
0 &&) and work out how to detect and enable it (I don't know)
- try enabling gnome_support (which provides gettext)
- switch to gtk2 (gtkmm 2.2.1, glade 2.0.0) which supports gettext well.

I'd recommend the last solution (IIRC Chinese is no fun without unicode 
support and that's gtk2's strength)

PS: Honestly I have to try (and perhaps fix) gtk2 gettext support real 
soon now [there might be some automake problems left].
