I'm not sure wheter this is really a problem. Tools like poEdit compile them
for you so it's easy for a translator to test. Of course, using the po file
directly is even easier.

You've got to copy the .mo file into a specific directory, yes. But that's not
really a huge restriction.

Yes, we just need to create a .pot file with correct line references. This
isn't rocket science. Additionally you need a declaration for the textdomain
in the file to feed it into the correct pot file as well as set the correct
textdomain upon lookup.

I guess porting the gui to use ttf fonts should be an early step. Those bitmap
fonts aren't nice to translations.
