Any other developer facing similar problems is free to ask for help!
:) The more technical l10n people will be happy to help in the swamp
of gettext and various intltool usage methods. Also if you just want
to figure it out yourself, it's often useful to take a look at some
other well-behaving package, like update-manager (Python) or
update-notifier (C).
