The existing behaviour is to only translate the template labels (e.g. "@KEYMAP_LONG@") when the theme configuration file is first read and to never translate ordinary labels. I am creating a bootloader for a Live DVD/USB which allows the user to select a different language in the boot menu, and hence want all text to be translated into the new language when it is selected.

The attached patch does the job. The only caveat is that it treats all labels in the theme as candidates for translation instead of requiring special syntax (e.g. $"...") as is required in other places. Personally, I don't see that as a problem - if the user has loaded the gettext module and set the $lang variable, then it can be presumed they want translations...
