In other words (sorry, but I am a bit simple minded and sometimes need
things to be said twice to get them right):
- "Some of them" => there are MJ messages in (a) file(s) other
than the scripts themselves.
- ".. for now" => This is due to (there is the idea for) a change.
If that hold true it's more than I expected! I am curious about the
mechanism how the external texts are "required" by the scripts.

What do you mean? Not to extract the "country code". Don't bother with
this stupid idea. Or did you take a look at my modified HTML-script (Did
I send it to you at all?)

First of all: you say you would "prefer". Again this sounds to me that
the decision to make MJ serve different languages seems to be done.
Okay, "decision" may not fit the facts: maybe MJ has already taken a way
that would make it much easier to add such a feature. Perhaps you could
give me some details what a "good gettext-style library" is, because I
am not quite sure what it means.
The major problem with having any external support to the scripts is to
keep the support synchronized with new releases of the scripts. I would
also like to discuss how this could be assured.
