I think Sun took a good look at gettext when they made their
resourcebundles.

How hard can it be? It is not fundamentally different from using
ResourceBundles.
In the long run being able to recycle strings from the PHP and
Perl code would be a huge advantage. And for this particular
application it is very usefull that partially translated
languages don't crash and burn ;-)

Maybe not so much the editing as being able to read it.
