For testing the translations of your hopman project add the following
headers in the GTK2/hopman.c main function:

    #include <libintl.h>
    #include <locale.h>

You also need to add the following macro in those files containing
translations:

    #define _(STRING) gettext(STRING)

so that, you can use something like this in the begining of the
GTK"/hopman.c:

    setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
    bindtextdomain ("hopman", "/usr/share/locale");
    textdomain ("hopman");

    printf( _("Starting hopman...\n") );

The bindtextdomain function uses the following format:

bindtextdomain (const char *domain_name, const char *dir_name);

and the translations will be found in the
$dir_name/locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES/project_name.mo,
once you have installed the application; otherwise, the directory should
be the po/ folder.
(have a look at your "/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/" directory)

Lets create the template.pot file (we are located in the hotman/ directory):

$> xgettext --keyword=_ --language=C --add-comments --sort-output \
-o po/template.pot  \
annex/*.c GTK2/*.c watch/*.c \
annex/*.h GTK2/*.h watch/*.h hopman.h

A po/hello.pot template is created and should look like this:

# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR <EMAIL@ADDRESS>, YEAR.
#
#, fuzzy
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2019-05-04 14:39+0200\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>\n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <LL@???>\n"
"Language: \n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"

#: GTK2/hopman.c:46 GTK2/hopman.c:47
#, c-format
msgid "Starting hopman...\n"
msgstr ""


Now you can customize a bit the header of this template by replacing a
few default by proper values
of Project-Id-Version, Report-Msgid-Bugs-To, the charset, the first
author, etc...

So, now we have full template to start with, we can start to work on a
translation for this program.
Lets start with a French translation of it. We need to create a file
po/fr.po extracted from the template.

$> msginit --input=po/template.pot --locale=fr --output=po/fr.po

Have a look at the generated po/fr.po file and write the pertinent
translations in the msgstr "" lines.

You can test the program by the following way:

$> LANG=fr_FR ./GTK2/hopman

The new Makefile will update automatically the translations:
