Comment (by ocean90):

 Replying to [comment:78 dd32]:
 > I don't think using the PHP Gettext library is a realistic option for
 WordPress (It's not exactly the best PHP API at all) and using object
 caches isn't good for i18n either (although benchmarks may show a benefit,
 it'll have consequences under heavy load).

 I second that. It's not a secret that Gettext isn't the best i18n library
 out there, We had a lot of chatter about that at WCEU. So maybe we should
 take this opportunity to look at alternatives like MessageFormat.
