What do you mean by windows manager? A thing which can say if some
message is visible or not?

But it should be some compile-time option, or, better, separate tool
that does not mean anything for a  general user.

const char* gettext_logged(const char *x)
{
    static char *domain = NULL;
    if (domain == NULL)
        domain = textdomain (NULL);
    print_to_log_file (domain, x);
    /* or */
    verify_message (domain, x);
    return gettext(x);
}
