How to reproduce

On PrintConfig.cpp there's a macro definition:

// Create a new config definition with a label and tooltip
// Note: the L() macro is already used for LABEL and TOOLTIP
#define new_def(OPT_KEY, TYPE, LABEL, TOOLTIP) \
        def = this->add(OPT_KEY, TYPE); \
        def->label = L(LABEL); \
        def->tooltip = L(TOOLTIP);

The L() expansion is not working, the strings are not being added for translation.

Actual results

The strings are not added to the translation files.

Expected results

The strings should be added to the translation files.
