If you look at page 25 you see it says:

Msg  => -"Are you sure you want to quit ?"

the "-" is in GtkAda defined as such:

   function "-" (Msg : String) return String is
   begin
      return Dgettext ("Programname", Msg);
   end "-";

and I expect they use this function as it comes from Glade (GUI
builder);

So it uses the gettext capabilities and internationalisation is then
done easily. How this work under Windows, I don't know as I haven't
tried it yet.
