I can forward You to this thread:

Some things are maybe obsolente, but the point is the same - nothing had
changed till today.
Just in brief - how it works (worked in past). For each mp_msg message
mplayer already calls gettext routine (if i18l is enabled in configuration -
see mp_msg.[c|h]).
So the only part missing are .po files. They can be easily created, compiled
and installed during mplayer configuration and compilation from source code.
What is missing in current code?
-Code snipped which creates for each language .po file (some grep magic to
make from help_mp-en and help_mp-XX pairs of translated and original
messages -->.po file), should be done at configure time
-Compilation of lang files .po --> .mo (just invoking compiler), should be
done at compile time
-Installation of lang files (simple copy), should be done at install time
To have i18n working mplayer itself has to be compiled with en language!
