That's understandable, but you don't need gettext; the way it works it
that it simply just merges things into the .policy file. So when the
dialog is shown what happens is that

 /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-manager

uses libpolkit to read the .policy file and extract the proper
translation. No i18n gunk is needed in any of your code.
