[MonoDevelop] cross-platform internationalization with mono

Hi,

I've searched around a bit and it seems that the two main ways of
internationalizing text in applications is to use Mono.Unix or the GetText#
wrapper (this is no longer recommended).

I have found no information anywhere on whether either of these are valid
for cross-platform applications.

GetText has windows builds and binaries, so that should work (and shouldn't
have issues on a Mac I would think).

Mono.Unix strongly implies that it's only for unix / posix based
environments, but not explicitly state so.

I would assume for myself that GetText# is the way to go for internalization
of cross-platform applications for Mono, but this is not 100% especially
since all pages on the project page indicate that Mono.Unix should be used
in preference.

Thanks for you time,
Kienan
