I think the problem is a couple of calls to plain gettext() :

      row_text[0] = gettext(xlfd_field_names[i]);

      label = gtk_label_new(gettext(xlfd_field_names[xlfd_index[prop]]));

I think it should be using _() or dgettext() so the domain is set to "Gtk+".
Otherwise you end up using the application's domain by default, so the
string translations won't be found.
