_("some text") ... aka gettext and friends.
QT, unfortunately.
Why do you "unfortunately"?
It's like using a sledgehammer for a picture hook. I think QT is a great tool, and it solves this problem nicely, but it's a full blown framework, and if you're already using something else - particularly if it's something "light" like SDL, or just a platform specific library like Win32, it's an awful lot to pull in (plus compile times, licensing, etc).
