Thank you for your reply.

I've read a bit more GNU gettext manual to get information about translation with GNU gettext. Long story short, the idea to generate message from parts will produce even more problems, despite the message strings passed to the _() are equal before and after the patch.

So I decided to make an array with all messages and mark them for translation with "N_()" to keep them together. Because we now have an array we can improve it to make a table with message format string and arguments. Now we need just to find the proper message index to print the message.

Please look at another approach: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/244357
