No, gettext doesn't understand the gfortran internal formats. What
would be the best course? Do we need to create a
gfortran-internal-format (and the, adding support for it in gettext)?
I think this is a bit too much. Perhaps these messages should not get
marked as special formats.

I do see in gcc.c:

          printf (_("%s (GCC) %s\n"), programname, version_string);
          printf ("Copyright %s 2005 Free Software Foundation,
Inc.\n", _("(C)"));

Does that mean that "GCC" is supposed to be translated?
