I'm not sure I understand why the length of the string is an important
factor here. Can you explain? If the problem is with the efficiency
of gettext implementation of indexing, then we could have our own
indexing method.

A key other than the original string would mean abandoning the PO
format. Any deviation from PO would mean major PITA for translation
teams, so we should make sure the reason for such a deviation is a
very good reason. I'm not yet sure we have such a good reason.
