So, it will not be gettext after all. You've been referring to it as gettext, which is why i got confuse. So, your plan is to completely reimplement all the i18n features that gettext has been doing to like 10 years, instead of just using gettext. Not sure im convinced this is the best idea.

Well, not in this thread at least. I just feel the same mistakes are being made over again. This whole thread has been about the old system was a bad idea from the beginning. Every one agrees on this. And now, instead of moving to proper i18n, it looks like the same system just replacing integer keys with string keys.

Sorry, but why is this bothering you so much ?
Are you regularly develop a lot of code for xbmc, so that this slows down your develop process ?
I mean from a translator point of you, everything is solved.
So sorry, but unless you actually want to help and have a working solution, please don't deprecate other's hard work which, actually helps end users and translators life and puts more work on himself.
And just a note: The calls will be the same as if we had libintl included. No difference in that. So gettext tools will be suitable for all kind of build and search functions.

I translate, and everything in i18n is definitely not solved. I'm sorry if i sounded deprecative, I didn't intend to, I very much appreciate the web translation system and everything, I do. It's a big step up for xbmc no doubt.

Glad to hear. And thanks for the translations.
I plan to extend capabilities of the system for paractically all things gettext knows.
For example, there will be plural form support. The parser is already prepared for that.
I think that is the only major missing thing at the moment. It will be again a big step. But only after we have Transifex up and going.
And of course you are invited in the translation team if you'd like to participate.
