Fix localization on Windows about pdfarranger HOT 5 CLOSED

Notifying @carlos22 as he is the first one to have worked on this issue.

from pdfarranger.

They had a similar problem and fixed it this way: https://github.com/Cimbali/pympress/pull/21/files
This avoids the usage of libintl - which was there fix in the first place for this problem on windows. There is an issue in the repo somewhere. But maybe the SO also helps? Will test soon if i find some time :-)

Looping on all widget looks to change their labels with their gettext translation seems clever but also hacky. I'll commit the libintl solution soon, but I don't mind having both in the repo so we could test them.

I tried https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/blob/master/bin/meld#L114 with no luck. I get no error message and no Gtk.Builder translation.

Hmm same for me. Not sure why. The pympress people did the same before the above linked change: https://github.com/Cimbali/pympress/pull/21/files#diff-e41eead59a5b8d11220101c32c3cf0a8L184 - not sure why they don't need to load it afterwards. I think it is because of the looping which seems to be less hacky than loading a dll?! Because after your changes (or even before?) Some parts of the app get translated, but not all (Save becomes Speichern for example).
