gettext and not-compiled locales

[Yann Dirson]

On Debian, not all locales are compiled by default, as you may already
know.

I was wondering what was the problem of not having the locale
compiled, when all we need is just to fetch message strings.  Wouldn't
it still be possible to use the message catalogs in such cases ?

Best regards,
