In case you are interested:

Version 0.3.3 has a working dlgedit with the translation preview:
http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/adonthell/adonthell-src-0.3.3.tar.gz
Downside is, it requires GTK+ 1.2.x, which might be hard to come by these days.
configure with --enable-tools to actually build dlgedit.

As an alternative, I've just added the gettext support back to the
current v0.4 tool source tree (module tools in CVS). I also verified
that it can still load v0.3 dialogue sources.
This version of dlgedit uses GTK+ 2.x, but it also needs adonthell
v0.4 to be installed before it compiles.

Let me know, if more information on that topic is required.
