Yes, but as far as I know the _ function already maps to gettext:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.gettext.php

I'm not sure what in particular the bug refers to. But I'm all for it
getting resolved, one way or the other :P

But I think you refer to
https://bugs.cacert.org/view.php?id=610
in which case the current state is the following:

Files are sent as Latin1, but all special characters are encoded using
HTML entities in numeric form - thus already allowing for the full UTF-8
range to be supported. The downside is with input processing as browsers
may choose which of the encodings (content encoding or form tag
encoding) to follow.

As there basically is a working solution (in the sense "not too horribly
broken) I'd suggest to better invest in the actually pressing issues
like 1260:
https://bugs.cacert.org/view.php?id=1260
Note the current release branch has to be merged in to refresh some of
the work already done.
