Well, I haven't really bothered about tranlations, but I glade uses
gettext. So translations should go into the $src/po dir. I don't know if
glade (or rather autmake/conf) produces a stub file for translations or
not. I can't check it out becuse glade generates someting wrong for me
at the moment in the config files so nothing works :(. You should
probably tell automake/conf that you have the translations too. I think
that it should go into the configure.in. 

BTW, you should probably get an second opinion on this, since I've just
starting to experiment with glade libtool, automake and autoconf...


Hope it help.
