IIRC, there was some back-n-forth on IRC about various technical
details, like NLS handling and use of msgfmt:
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2020-July/287917.html
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2020-August/290568.html

But indeed, there is no summary on the list... :-/

If you can combine and rework the previous attempts (yours and Adam's)
and respin that, with a commit log that explains the issues and how they
were fixed, that'd be great!

Yann E. MORIN.
