No, we want to keep GetText as a separate package.

NaturalLanguageTranslator is fine, and it might even do the job (it has the registry), we just haven't tested that. Btw, InternalTranslator is pretty much obsolete, as well as LanguageEditor.

Perhaps it is enough to move just TextDomainManager from GetText-Localization to System-Localization, as well as the #translated* methods that use it.

The goal is to remove the direct dependency on GetText from the rest of the system.
