I don't like very much the idea of breaking the labels in lots of 
separed words.

Consider also functions like:

     virtual QCString trMember(bool first_capital, bool singular)
     {
       QCString result((first_capital ? "Member" : "member"));
       if (!singular)  result+="s";
       return result;
     }

I can imagine that its implementation is different in other languages. 
And splitting the words to translate as "member" and "s" won't help :(

Plural form handling in GNU gettext is a bit complicated, in fact:

   http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Plural-forms

Maybe Doxygen should simply use .po/.mo files after all...  both in this 
case and in the text-conf case however, we'd need to rewrite all 
translation files, which involves help from all translators to review 
tons of changes in the translation files... I'm not sure this is a good 
choice.
