For simple programs, I do not bother to do my own localization, because 
most of needed words are already available in localization files of GTK 
and its components. Thus I define:

#define A_(String) g_dpgettext ("atk10", String, 0)
#define L_(String) g_dpgettext ("glib20", String, 0)
#define G_(String) g_dpgettext ("gtk20", String, 0)
#define P_(String) g_dpgettext ("gtk20-properties", String, 0)

and then I can use for example:

G_("File"), P_("Image"), A_("paragraph")

and so on.

But of course, some of these words are not available in all versions.

Another possibility is to use localization files of other programs which 
also use .mo files (for example GIMP).
