Hi,

Crossposting to MeeGo L10N list as well

Yes, Core & netbook is fully internationalized by using Gettext.
Localization team is working with Transifex
(http://meego.transifex.net) tool to maintain .po flies. The Qt .ts
files (for Handset UX) support will be introduced in next Transifex
release (I hope ;) )

MeeGoo is using industry standards so though I am not a developer I
believe it contains API you look for.

Again, core is using gettext - if you want to help up translating
MeeGo visit Transifex page, register and join the team. If you want to
 develop system level software get familiar with Gettext to be able
internationalize it properly
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html). For Qt
based Handset UX directions you may want to have a look at
http://wiki.meego.com/Internationalization to see how you should make
your apps localization aware.
