If the PO file contains
msgstr ""
it actually means untranslated.

Maybe you could improve the handling when the translator didn't provide
a translation? if (translation == msgid)...
Currently the code returns
(s == clocale_quoting_style ? "\"" : "`" or "'")
If you improved this to test the locale_charset () for being "UTF-8",
users would see the UTF-8 quotation marks even if translators didn't help.
(Similar to what you did for the (C) sign years ago.)
