I am not sure how you have implemented the translation infrastructure,
but if you are in a position to be able to generate a lampadas.pot file
and merge those results back in, then you can possibly take advantage of
the gnome-i18n module. This is a collection of external programs which
have their strings translated by the various GNOME teams and then the
external maintainers merge in the translations from time to time. After
creating the .pot file, pinging the gnome-i18n list would be a fruitful
exercise (although I don't have to do any of the translations, so they
may just want to kill me for suggesting more work gets pushed the way of
the translators).

Cheers,
