no, it is - just use the right tools - poedit, for example, which  
comes at least in two flavours- Linux and win.

just read carefully the notes on horde translation and use the right  
tools. You even have nothing to do with gettext rather than have the  
lates version installed; everything other is done via horde-translate  
script.
Poedit, for example, offers even automated translation from  
translation memory which eases the process very much.
