But can't you pass to GNUPlot the legends with the numbers parsed?
The translated msgstr would be; N(%s, %s) and then translator would use
whatever list separator he choose.
The problem is that the translator cannot assume that a person
using gretl in his/her locale has chosen to use the locale decimal
separator. But I guess we could work around that: use the
"translation" if and only if the use has chosen to use the locale
decimal separator??

I don't think that there is a definite standard...
That was my fear. I'm not sure we're better off with a
(good-faith but) questionable "translation" for these strings than
with the status quo.
