The description of Rosetta is a little misleading. From the description is sounds a little like Rosetta is a gettext replacement, but it seems to be a nothing more than a web-based replacement for KBabel and similar tools.

Right. I'd say it's an error in the article. If the application alreadyrecognizes .pot files then there is absolutely no need to edit every string
in the application, recompile, and fix errors. Sure, a nice program to help
create those files would be helpful for translators, but the programmer still
has to change the program to use gettext.
