Just so you know, there's a whole thread about converting xml to gettext somewhere. I worked on this myself and you can do it with the existing tool xml2po, however, it's a dead end because gettext is going to require you to provide a msgctxt tag for each duplicate entry, and there's a lot them in xbmc! Also you are going to have to take care of "storing" the xml ids somewhere yourself.
But perhaps the most important thing is that you'll loose the id ordering in the xml files. Because of all the string fragmentation and how the ids are divided in chunks, it's very important for translators that this order is kept.
