Please don't make the variable name part of the translatable message. I
suggest using the following pattern:

> + else if (strcmp(param, "numericlocale") == 0)
> + {
> + if (popt->topt.numericLocale)
> + printf(_("Locale-adjusted numeric output (%s) is on."), "numericlocale");

> + }

Otherwise it will be too easy for the translator to make the mistake
that the variable name needs translation too.
