It won't. We just tag them so that applications can choose to translate
them. You have to initialize and call dgettext("libmicrohttpd", s)
inside of your logging callback on all messages/strings you get from
libmicrohttpd (inside the log callback) yourself if you want the
messages translated.

Hm... it makes sense. I need to do new tests to check if it works translating in the final application by itself.

Anyway I'm curious, is there any special reason to MHD not to call bindtextdomain() internally? 🤔 (it seems locale.h/libintl.h is present in all SOs supported by MHD ...)
