I don't think so, for at least 2 reasons :
* the Koha project already has existing and working tools / versions. 
It's sometimes/usually easier to improve something that exists than 
rewrite it from scratch. this translation tool works quite good imho, 
and needed only a few hours to be done.
* this translation tools is something like a gettext, but on developper 
time, not on execution time. Pro : it's no cpu consumming, & so better 
for low-end hardware.
