Assuming the application has already been translated and you have the translation installed:

LANG=locale application

You can see which locales are defined on your system with:

localedef --list-archive

In your case the locale would probably be "it_IT"

The standard way is to use gettext. Alter the code to use _ or gettext() for the UI strings, then extract them and translate the .po files into the different languages.
