This helps, backported.

Yet another one is there (DE example):

#: ../gui/wxpython/gui_modules/menuform.py:871
#: ../gui/wxpython/gui_modules/preferences.py:1131
msgid "Close dialog on finish"
msgstr "Schließe den Dialog beim Beenden"

But they are indicated correctly:
[neteler at north grass64]$ grep 'Close dialog on f' gui/*/*/*
gui/wxpython/gui_modules/menuform.py:
      label=_('Close dialog on finish'), style = wx.NO_BORDER)
gui/wxpython/gui_modules/preferences.py:
label=_("Close dialog on finish"),

To get things like
   'label=_("Close dialog on finish")'
shown translated in the file preferences.py, I had to add the "import gettext"
stuff (yet unsubmitted).

Looking around I found other .py files lacking the gettext stuff.
What's the right way to do it? Add everywhere or is there a better way?
Or can it be inherited from globalvar.py or another file?

Before cluttering files, I thought to ask.
