The reason I didn't do something like this to begin with is that
gettext/glibc doesn't have support for fake locales, so you'd have to
appropriate a real one for tests. It's good to see you poking the
gettext mailing list about adding support far thot.

I don't see glibc getting fake locale support any time soon even if
it's more open than before. I can try to make gettext support pseudo
translations, though not sure if I can make it.

But something like podebug gets around that quite nicely, so we can
still have the testing the poison stuff was intended for, without the
complexity of supporting it throughout all our i18n code.

But yes, even if gettext does not have native support, relying on
podebug should be ok. Whatever changes we need, other projects might
too. It's better to do it outside of git.
