Missing a library for supporting localized strings

[eyalroz]

I'm missing a library here which provides support for string localization.

An application targeting non-expert users, and which displays or prints any sort of text - must do so in the user's language. And for that to happen, it must obtain a localized-and-formatted string in that language, given a proto-string, or a template, and the arguments to format (e.g. numbers, names and so on).

A venerable system for doing this is GNU gettext - which is C-based. But - I would expect there should be a C++-based library for this functionality which could be considered "awesome" enough for this collection. Otherwise, perhaps a note suggesting someone write that awesome library? :-)

I don't have a specific candidate I can recommend, but I have noticed spirit-po, which is in C++ and reads GNU gettext .po files; haven't ever used it myself.
