Anyone know if this will be added anytime soon? Any good alternatives?

Issue 9487 tracks the status of the gettext extension. Hit the star button to keep track of the issue and so other people know how important it is: https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=9487

That depends. Are you using .mo files to store your translations, or another format?

We are using .mo files, but converting to another format would not be a huge problem.

If you want to stay with gettext, there's a pure PHP implementation at https://launchpad.net/php-gettext/ . It's somewhat old, and I haven't used it personally, but I know a few people who do and it does the job. Otherwise, there are some PHP internationalization implementations on GitHub and Sourceforge. They use varying file formats so you may have to convert, but it's not too difficult to implement them.
