how does it work then ? i assumed from the description , you give it a
locale and it will translate content from the database into the given
language ? damn wish there was something like that

Mmm, I don't think anything like that exists--at least, not yet. There are
or no sites (or software) that can perfectly translate any entire site. And,
don't expect anything that would translate your entire encyclopaedia
automatically as well... :)

Well, for gettext's translations, I believe the translators are real humans
(and they're native speakers) so you can expect a high quality translation
that serves its purpose...
Just MHO,
