Hi Ingo,

I'm asking because in the course of localizing an application written
for Mac users, and that is a GUI for interactive actions that can be
carried via Terminal by Command Line Instructions, I have found several
terms that are exactly the ones that are displayed in Terminal.

I was surprised that in spite of being a GUI, it was still necessary to
actually include those interactive processes in the body of the
applications, whereas _*maybe*_ it would have been possible to somehow
create an interface that would have retrieved the interactive commands
and actions from GnuPG running in the language required for the
localization.

I have *not* written the application (I have no programing skills or
even knowledge), but was just helping to localize the required strings.

Thanks,
Charly
