I can't; hopefully, it's just setting the right macros and compiling.

I'm lacking any experiences with that, but why not?

Normally, it's no problem that tagging and runtime translation is done
in the same place; that's what is performed using the _() macro. But in
some cases, this will not be ok. Look at the table in pgObject.cpp;
these strings represent both words that are used for sql command
creation, but also for user display purposes. Thus these strings need to
be tagged, so they are extracted for translation, but may *not* be
replaced by the translated version in the table itself. Instead, the
translation only may take place when used for displaying some
information to the user.
I tried to make this clear in my doc about this, feel free to propose a
different wording to make it clearer.
