I've done some work on this; I rewrote the wiki page titled "Localize using
Gettext and Intltool" [1] so that it doesn't mention intltool anymore.
Since it's a pretty drastic revision, I put it in a paste [2], maybe
someone wants to check if I haven't been too overzealous in deleting?

Furthermore, here's the migration guide [3]. Caveats are that I did this
mostly by looking back at some commits that I made a few months ago, and
I've never done it for AppData files, so it could probably use some
independent verification.
