I already have plans of storing the translations in external file,
something like translations.dat. I.e. po2c will be modified to write a
binary, probably zipped file which then will be loaded just as theme.

The file will have both list of translations and the translation
strings, i.e. all content from translation.cpp file, so there will be
no additional parsing, as string parsing is really slow.

This not only removes big chunk of data from the executable but also
will make possible to develop and test translations without
recompilation.

If you like to help with coding, you are welcome.
