[ckan-dev] Translating plugins & custom translations how-to

[Vitor Baptista]

Hi Samuele,

Sorry for taking too long to answer.

Stevedore looks nice, but it sounds like a big change. Maybe keeping on
with your approach might be easier at first, and we can investigate on the
advantages of changing to something like that later. What do you think?

Cheers,
