assemble

This tool embeds your translations in your executable. When your programs work, including translations, type this:

assemble --dxgettext applicationfilename.exe

This will find all translation files (mo files) in the locale subdirectory and append them to the exe file. It also works with dll files. This system should coexist nicely with other tools that append something to the .exe file, as long as the other tool knows how to coexist with other tools. If you are using another tool to append something, that does not coexist with other tools, use that tool before you embed translations.
