I think Vincent did this very nicely.

I have to deal with both Qt .ts and gettext a *lot* at work, even in our 
many Qt projects, gettext is used about 50% of the time.

It's just that much more flexible. Gettext doesn't use a very annoying 
XML format, it is diff-able, it handles plural cases better.

The one downside is regarding the .ui files, as mentioned.

Vincent, for the stock buttons you mentioned, it should not matter. They 
should be translated by Qt at the toolkit level.
