It seems too big, that's weird.
I think merging is not really done, and there are several changes to do for i18n:

- split the "zope" gettext domain into all the separate namespaces. Maybe only 
zope.app.* packages can be kept under the "zope.app" domain.

- find a way to generate the .pot and .mo files at build. They should not be 
stored in the svn. We should only have the translated .po files, and the merging 
and compiling should be done during build. Maybe the .pot file could be also 
stored but this is not really necessary.

- add an automatic test in each package to check whether the .po files have been 
merged by the developer. If a po file is not in sync with the code, the test 
fails. This would allow all the .po files to be always up to date.
