Hello,

For my own usage I have a package "intl" which contains all the string 
literals and there is an instance of this package for each language 
(intl-fr.ads, intl-en.ads,...)  and I have defined a variable in GPS 
called 'language'. In the project file there is something like:

   package Naming is
      case language is
         when "french" =>    for Specification ("intl") use "intl_fr.ads";
         when "english" =>   for Specification ("intl") use "intl-en.ads";
      end case;
   end Naming;


When I want to generate an executable in a language I just select the 
proper value and the build do all the job. This works only with GPS, but 
its is independent of any other package like Gtk.
