I think the question is, why is your cat looking for locales at all, if it's just catting a file. Mine only looks for locales if I run it with --help or something.

would get rid of all those extra "locale" file lookups

Error messages cat spits out in case it can't find your file can also be translated.

It reads the (non-existent) locale files even when no output is generated.
A report from OSCON 2007 Posted Aug 4, 2007 12:10 UTC (Sat) by tzafrir (subscriber, #11501) [Link] right, so you want to complicate the code of every program:
if(open failed) {
print_help_message(){

Every time a program needs to translate a message, it calls a function to do the translation. It should not be too difficult to modify the code for "lazy evaluation", where the locale catalog is not set up until the first time a message needs to be translated, and hide this inside the i18n libraries.
