void   gtk_item_factory_set_translate_func (GtkItemFactory      *ifactory,
                                            GtkTranslateFunc     func,
                                            gpointer             data,
                                            GtkDestroyNotify     notify);

What you do is mark your items with N_(), and then make your translate
func call gettext() on them.
