This is perl, not python. You'd have to modify intltool-extract.in and
intltool-merge.in I think. Maybe also see bug 389565.

Turtle can be parsed by raptor (it apparently has perl bindings) but it
is yet another dependency and is probably avoidable if you just want to
extract translatable strings.

If it where Python I would expect that I could write a pretty compact Turtle parser without using any dependencies at all. I'm no Perl expert, but I expect that I could make it even more compact in Perl :-)

Is there a reason intltool doesn't have pluggable backends for cases like this?
