Really? I thought that that was exactly what N_ was used for. N_ being a 
macro calling gettext_noop, which is in turn a is a no-op macro, returning 
the same string as is inputted. This is useful in cases where a string is 
being selected from a static table of text, or oother similar circumstances.

The example can be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_mono/gettext.html#SEC19

(The used gettext_noop explicitly, which is actually very rare.)

I would be surprised if this technique could not be used in this case.
