The license matter has already been settled (I actually think it was
the Gnome community which more or less forced libintl to be LGPL), but
regarding tools, the .po format that gettext spews out is just plain
text and is a standard in the free software world.

I'm maintaining the Danish translation of Gnome. Personally, I use
Emacs which has a very good major mode for .po files and I've heard of
some who just use a plain text editor, but there are also some GUI
tools. gtranslator which uses GTK+:

And KBabel which uses Qt:

Of course, the toolset used doesn't matter for editing the .po files.


And regarding the "ucompose.h" and "composer" stuff that people are
talking about, that would be my (extremely simple) string composition
library:

It's just one header.
