I got win32 version of gettext at 
http://home.a-city.de/franco.bez/gettext/gettext_win32_en.html, another 
available w32 port is a part of gnuwin32 
(http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html).

It is not absolutely necessary to write the translation directly in utf-8. 
I edit my translation in windows-1250 and convert the messages to UTF-8 as 
a part of the compilation script, using "iconv -f CP1250 -t UTF-8 cs.po > 
cs_UTF.po".
You may also consider using a specialized tool: 
http://poedit.sourceforge.net/ (It seems like a fine tool to me, although I 
do not use it myself, I use metapad and my own simple PO editor.)
