_Much_ more functionality than gettext... http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/

"Translations"? You mean locale data? While you can use ICU resource bundles for the
localization/translation of your application, it does also carry locale data with
language/region/culture-specific values and patterns and also names of related things (like months
and currencies).
ICU currently carries CLDR 1.1 data: http://www.unicode.org/cldr/
You may not need both Qt and ICU - which one you need will depend on your environment and which
functions you need, what level of standards support, etc.

John answered this. Also, for example: http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/docs/papers/forms_of_unicode/
