<http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Preparing-Strings.html>
seems to promise that it works without multiple translations:

  Assume you have code like

     printf ("The amount is %0" PRId64 "\n", number);

  The gettext tools and library have special support for these
  <inttypes.h> macros. You can therefore simply write 

     printf (gettext ("The amount is %0" PRId64 "\n"), number);

  The PO file will contain the string "The amount is %0<PRId64>\n". The
  translators will provide a translation containing "%0<PRId64>" as
  well, and at runtime the gettext function's result will contain the 
  appropriate constant string, "d" or "ld" or "lld". 


gettext-0.14 (4 years old) already has this text, so it's probably safe
to use by now. (Apparently I have been living under a rock for the last
couple of years, I didn't even know about that PRId64 thing - thanks for
pointing it out.)
