Limitations, not problems. Compared to the Delphi internal translation
systems. Yours has the same, by design.

Note that I think dxgettext is a netto plus compared to ITE.

If your source (main) language has a word with two meanings, how will you
translate to a language where there is a word for each meaning?

IIRC dxgettext has only solutions for that when you recognize this early
and add special code. This means that sometimes you can't simply ship a
translation, but also have to 

(dx)gettext also has support for stuff like multiples, textdomains. Some of
it is not very well supported in the editor (gorm) though.

It comes with source scanner tools to harvest strings from the code.
 
The source for this + the editor are available. Most will readily work with
FPC/Lazarus, except maybe unicode issues.

What's your unicode philosophy btw?
