Disadvantage is that if an invalid locale is specified, an invalid string is
used or whatever, no string will be displayed. Also, everyone *has* to
specify a locale. In the normal gettext() world, developers don't specify a
locale in their runtime and it just works. Here, developers not wanting a
locale would need to recompile so that the string->int64 replacements go
away and normal plain strings (untranslated) are displayed.

Anyway, do you know any software that uses your described system that I
could have a peek at?
