gettext, the set of tools for generating message catalogues pulling
translatable strings out of source etc. are GPL.

libintl, the library for translating at run-time in your program, is
LGPL.

So, there are no issues here.  Use gettext tools at build-time and
link libintl dynamically and you have (IANAL) no problems
redistributing your non-free stuff.
