There is nothing wrong with gettext(), and it will work under Haiku as well.
It's just a limited approach to localization; it only handles string
translations. It doesn't know about other localization issues like ordering,
writing numbers, dates, times, etc.
The OpenTracker Locale Kit aims to solve those issues as well - covered in a
nice and Be-like API.
