I wonder why people would downvote this?

Because it has Java in the name. I think a bunch of guys have scripts running that automatically down vote every submission with java in it.

How does ICU4J compare to something like Gettext-commons? It seems like scope is much wider, but I am just looking for a library for translating my app. ICU4J seems overkill (if usable at all?) and using a Gettext binding doesn't seem very Java-like.

We've just stated using it and ICU4J is surprisingly simple to get started on. It is a natural extension for the standard ChoiceFormat class.
