I you want call it replication.

My style of coding is normally in general writing an own solution.
So I did it with a webserver also. Advantages are the flexibility. And a 
disadvantage is may the longer time to find a solution. But this fact 
relativizes the more specific the solution will be. I made the experience 
that the spent time will be the same (or even less if you exactly know what 
is needed) then.

If you are searching for an individual solution that is not done before than 
you have to ask the developers and hope that they support you. If not you 
have to find yourself a solution.

As I read now here
http://dxgettext.po.dk/
gettext seems already to be a (very) good solution. I am wondering why there 
are some problems with as I read somewhere in this thread.

For me it would be interesting to know how dxgettext gets the snippet 
information from the program code...!
