Using the script will give you the ability of having variables 
interpolated, so I would suggest using it.
If you have gettext it will use it AND give you variable interpolation, 
if you dont it will still work.
This is a tiny 18k script I dont see why you would not want to use it. 
To me it boils down to this;
If you are going to use gettext then you should use this script if  you 
are going to use a db approach
do it in a way that allows you to use gettext tools such as xgettext. I 
would go further and say
in a db approach you should be able to give translators .po and .pot 
files which they can use in
a proper translation oriented editor. That might mean creating a few 
scripts that populate/merge/update the db given .po files.

Having said that I think the db version is overkill.
