I have no idea if gettext is usable on non-unix platforms, and whether it allows to use locally saved translations. If it does, I think we might give it a try. We would need to change all 'text %s %s' % (self.title(), newtitle) commands to their dictionary relatives, 'text %(title)s %(newtitle)s' % {'title': self.title(), 'newtitle': newtitle). Not a small job, but doable, I suppose.
If gettext is not (easily) available on win32, we might write our own system. I do not like the idea of using integers though ;)
