rhpl.translate is described as a "persistent global gettext service for
python programs". Not sure why that is RH specific.
The source is available from the Fedora CVS tree
(http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com) as well as in the SRPMS. You can grab it
via:
curl -O -R -S --fail --show-error http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/repo/dist/rhpl/rhpl-0.187.tar.gz/7979e7677a5cb32c06d176052403c707/rhpl-0.187.tar.gz

Having investigated this some more and discussed it on IRC, it seems
that rhpl is only being used for one function (_), which it seems can
be replaced by Python's standard gettext interface. A patch to do this
is attached, tested with LC_* both unset and set to en_GB. semanage and
genhomedircon are known to work in these situations; the changes to the
other scripts are identical so they ought to work as well. Please
comment.
