I'm not so experienced with Makefiles, but I managed to simply replace
"C" occurrences by a LANG variable in the Makefile of gnome folder. I
didn't touch the images processing.
The script still required to be manually modified to generate html for
other languages, as I don't know if a language parameter could be passed
to the make command. Maybe someone could improve this later.

For XML generation from .po files, the i18n.sh script was aimed to that.
I didn't check if it is still accurate...
