If you want to build the new messages files, you require the gettext command line utils (xgettext, msgcat, msgmerge).
For Linux / Mac install them using your package manager (e.g. MacPorts). For Windows install using the installer from https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/gettext/0.14.4/gettext-0.14.4.exe/download or get the utils from https://sourceforge.net/projects/cppcms/files/boost_locale/gettext_for_windows/gettext-tools-static-0.18.1.1.zip/download and put them on your path.
