Yes, I have:

deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main

Nevertheless, I ran an update and then

$ sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports install gettext
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
gettext is already the newest version.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer
required:
  libgettextpo0
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 174 not upgraded.

So no progress so far.
