So you hardcode them and then hardcode a way to un-hardcode them :)

The fact that caption and listof depend on the language is not
relevant here, since it is a general problem that we have to solve for
all layout files, aka the general babel translation support. The
problem is that these string should not be translated to the language
of the UI, but to the language of the document (ie, if I work on a
french document with english or german UI, I want to see "Liste des
figures" anyway).
There are two solutions to this:
- provide translations in the language file, and have variables like
$${chaptername} used in the layout file.
- see whether gettext can use several languages at once without
encuring too much performance penalty (does it re-loads .mo files at
each language change?)
Dekel provided a patch for the first solution a long time ago, but
Lars said he did not like it and preferred the po file approach.
