I see two ways of doing this: either converting language files to something

gettext is not a problem now that php-gettext exists) - should it be done?
Hoi,
From your answer I understand that you do not apreciate what TMX is.
TMX is a manner in which you store what is called a "translation
memory", it allows you to make use of this translation memory when you
have to redo this translation when changes have occurred or when similar
content is to be translated. Consequently the use of TMX is applicable
in tools for translators; in itself it is not a format that allows for
editing.
Consequently, the idea that it is "faster" for smaller installations
misses the point completely. This may be true when software and its user
interface is set in stone while we all know that this is not the case.
Thanks,
