I wanted to add translation support to my personal project using CMake and Gettext. CMake itself contains a module to find and work with Gettext translation files. It looked simple, but not everything goes according to plans. It is always easy to blame someone else. I got confused by different examples. First example showed a file structure as locale/${language}/MyApp.po, which failed me when I was trying to integrate it into my program. This in combination with me playing with it cause the CMake generation fail in error basicaly saying The target with the name "MyApp" already exists.. That is because the basename is the same between multiple languages.
