How complicated would it be to make these translations a
part of the POT file for the tool and convert them from PO
to lexgrog.l format as a part of the package build process?
It will make life easier for the translators, but will it
complicate life more for the package maintainers?

It would make sense to let the tool that checks "NAME" check
the other headers as well.
