There are some limitations in pure GNU gettext that make it unsuitable (or
at least, inconvenient) for some uses.

Some solutions have been proposed and implemented, the most advanced of all
being "Gettext Generalized" by Caslav Illic:

http://nedohodnik.net/gettextbis/

It's implemented in KDE under the name "Transcript".

Some more information on the limitations of pure GNU gettext can be found
here:

(please note some of the points that blog post makes do not apply to
Gettext Generalized)

A while ago I flirted with the idea of providing a pure .NET implementation
of Gettext Generalized for a project I was working on. Maybe I should
change plans and do it in C++, with a few of the enhancements described in
the above blogpost...
