Hi all,

To celebrate the National Day of Catalonia, I just completed the
Catalan translation for CKAN, visca!

https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/ckan/resource/ckan/l/ca/view/

Just a tip for developers regarding translations:

* When writing templates, mark <p>, <div>, etc elements with the
i18:msg attribute, otherwise the messages don't get extracted
properly.

Good: https://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckan/src/1996b0439e81/ckan/templates/home/about.html#cl-40
<p i18n:msg="">More about CKAN, and the background to its creation can
    be found in <a
      href="http://m.okfn.org/files/talks/opentech_20080705/">these
      slides</a>.</p>
gives this:
https://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckan/src/1996b0439e81/ckan/i18n/ca/LC_MESSAGES/ckan.po#cl-1238

Bad: https://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckan/src/1996b0439e81/ckan/templates/package/new_package_form.html#cl-211

The message is split in different parts that not necessarily match the
grammar or syntax of the translated language.
