Note: Installing something from backports is not considered to be
"forced". Packages from backports are expected to work fine with the
rest of the system.

You have to install the package containing the "gettext" command
as well, not just the "gettext" package:

$ which gettext
/usr/bin/gettext
$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/gettext
gettext-base: /usr/bin/gettext

So you have to install the "gettext-base" which is also in
wheezy-backports.
