Um, RPMTAG_BULDTIME has RPM_INT32_TYPE, not RPM_I18NSTRING_TYPE, value.

This is never used.

#define I18N_STRING	9

Why not just #include <header.h> from rpm sources to get these values?

RPM_I18NSTRING_TYPE is an associative array. The locale is used to determine
the index from matching entries in the HEADER_I18NTABLE (tag value 100), then
the string with the same index is returned as value from a string array.
