Its reasonably advanced. See the cmclayouttrans branch
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?h=feature/cmclayouttrans
Plenty of rough edges I'm sure, but can render fairly arbitrary
glade-created .ui files with a fairly low burden of pain involved with
changing a dialog over to use it.

If you're interested you could pick a dialog, re-do it manually in glade
and fire the .ui over to me and I could convert the dialog code over to
use it. Adding whatever implementations we're still missing as I go.
