There is a cross platform solution for translation strings based on int/ID called catgets[1] (now available as a part of gettext for backward compatibility). But it isn't used anymore since the extra work to keep track of those string IDs is just a waste of time. If that time is going to be wasted anyway (if Windows requires it) catgets could be used on Unix.
The whole point of using gettext is to save the developers valuable time. And that point is equally valid on all platforms IMHO. If the executables get slightly bigger and the lookups get (theoretically) slightly slower it is of much less importance.
