Sphinx (the documentation system) has a very competent internationalization scheme
here's how it works. the input documents are processed (macros expanded, etc) then each page becomes a gettext catalog, and each AST node becomes its own gettext message

GNU gettext Reaches Version 1.0 After 30+ Years In Development - Adds LLM Features
Sun Microsystems began developing gettext in the early 1990s and the GNU Project began GNU gettext development in 1995 for this widely-used internationalization and localization system commonly for multi-lingual integration. While GNU gettext is commonly used by countless open-source projects and adapted for many different programming languages, only an hour ago was GNU gettext 1.0 finally released...

i have at least 5 commercial games that use csv’s for translations so yes, i am aware of my options. gettext msg context is a big reason to switch to gettext. i’m just not sure what you are arguing for at this point, and don’t see how it is related to my question. anyway, good luck to you
