xgettext does not know i18n() by default.

You need:
-kl18n -kI18N_NOOP
as parameters

Probably you need:
--from-code=UTF-8
too

Note also that KDE knows strings with context like:
i18n("context", "text")
However an unpatched xgettext does not know how to handle that.
(The patch is in kdesdk/scripts, as such it seems only to work on older 
version of xgettext 0.10.)

Have a nice day!
