Gah, you're right for how it currently works. I've no experience with internationalisation and I expected something more elaborate than just one function gettext() which is called at startup for each string, for some reason.

It's not, _() (aka gettext()) is called *when a translation is needed* for
each string (it translates each format string into a new one given the current locale, possibly reordering arguments in the process). It's just that GUI applications often need to translate most of their strings in one big lump at initial-window-mapping time.
