Mozilla does not use the gettext library, however, it is possible to 
convert its .dtd and .properties files into .po files. Check out 
http://l10ntools.mozdev.org/

99% of the strings of Mozilla are platform independent.

Unfortunately the original problem (untranslated dialogs coming from 
Mozilla) can still remain after full localisation of Mozilla itself, 
because:
1. Translations are not distributed with the program.
2. Mozilla ignores LANG environment variable.

Cheers,
