Jason, my method is pretty much the same as yours, and it works quite well as far as I can see. What I was describing above is how I maintain the language files. I agree that gettext seems overly complicated, but it's hard to envision a simpler "everything for everyone" method of accomplishing the same thing.

True!
I've actually thought about releasing the program I wrote, but I've never gotten around to putting around a demo...

You don't have to add or modify the msgid lines by hand, that's all done with xgettext and msgmerge.

Phew, that's better than I was thinking. Still seems like you'd have to be very competent to carry out all the steps without goofing up on a semi-regular basis, but at least that's one major chunk of work it does for you.
