I don't think a dependency on po/gettext and the resulting two translation systems instead of one is a good idea. I think it is best to use the existing rc system to translate all text.
The problem is there is no translation tool that knows how to handle rc files. If we handled all rc file translations through po files we would be able to leverage the many tools that support po files, in particular the various website-based tools thatt make it easy for non-programmers to do translations.
