No change.

elog() would call gettext() internally, so the code change there is
localized to elog.c.  For other function calls that contain translatable
message strings it looks like (example from psql):
   fprintf(stderr, gettext("Invalid command \\%s. Try \\? for help.\n"), my_line);

So obviously it would pay off if the communication of a program was
encapsulated in a limited number of functions.
