The original text is "Here a text which show \$FOO BAR" but I can
do `eval_gettext "Here a text which show \$FOO BAR"` inside the
Dialog options. This is why I have changed the text inside to a
variable and tried to use
BACKTITLE=`eval_gettext "Here a text which show \$FOO BAR"`
but this does not work.

If I try
Xdialog --title "sampleprogi" --screen-center --no-cancel --wrap \
--backtitle "`echo \"Here a text which show \$FOO BAR\"`" \
--fixed-font --textbox $FILE 30 $DLGW
it is outputed correctly, but replacing "echo" by "eval_gettext" does
not work.

Unfortunatly not... Oh, I try to internationalize several dozen
(X)dialog frontends to console commands...
