If you're experimenting with beta versions of Delphi 2008, there is now a version of GNU Gettext for Delphi available that works with the new UnicodeString string type, and supports Unicode everywhere.
It won't be released as part of the official package before I get my hands on a Delphi 2008 myself, but it has been designed to use UnicodeString according to the information made public by CodeGear.
In order to use it, use the latest official version, but replace gnugettext.pas with this version directly from the source code repository.

The factor 2 principle
All ideas that intend to improve something less than 2 times are unambitious.

Goodbye UTF-16
Google's data seem to indicate that UTF-8 is about to take over the WWW. I guess most Linux distributions already made the switch to UTF-8, making us-ascii, iso-8859-1, UCS-2, UTF-16 and others seem like technology of the past. I wonder who is still using these? I do. I'm a Windows programmer. :-(
