Please try it and see.

If we need to replace gettext.c with Lisp code, that won't be hard,
When we come to that point, people will be enthusiastic about
translations and someone will do it.

What I think is crucial is to be compatible with the gettext
infrastructure for writign, maintaining and distributing translations.
Moving the code in Emacs to Lisp would not conflict with that.
