gettextize [options] [directory]

gettextize prepares a source package for internationalization. It adds necessary gettext infrastructure files, autoconf macros, and directory structure.
The tool creates po/ directory, adds m4 macros, and updates build system configuration. It sets up the framework for adding translations to a project.
gettextize is the first step in internationalizing an autotools-based project.
