--- Comment #1 from Zbigniew Jedrzejewski-Szmek <zbyszek at in.waw.pl> ---
I was thinking about that too. Recently a bunch of new translations for systemd
(as far as it is translatable) were added, so it seems that there's a healthy
community of translators who would do the translations if the functionality
were provided.

We should use gettext.

Systemd is a large project, and translating all messages that can be emitted is
a huge amount of work for little gain. I'd pick a few areas that are the most
important (useful to casual users), and concentrate on that. Anything that is
below log_info would not be translated.

In some rough order of priority:
- stuff that systemd prints to the console
- systemd-tty-ask-password-agent
- systemctl, hostnamectl, timedatectl, journalctl, localectl

For the tools the order does not really matter. I'd probably be good to start
with the smaller ones.
