Well at the moment I try to understand python a bit... <fg> 

If I ever understand Python then I will write a little function like
this:

get_i18n(file, "digest_and_memb_not_from_stdin", "Sorry, can't read both digest *and* normal members from stdin.")

Well then of course we need something like a po file. I do not know how
.po files are structured, but I would just use a normal ASCII file,
because I do not want to write a UTF8/UTF16/UTF32 converter.

And then there is also the question, if you can use UTF with your
console, etc. But upgrading from my proposed version to UTF should be
relativly easy. A new function and a script to convert the already
existant file into a UTF file.
