As we were discussing in a past thread, it would be handy to have a
paster command to merge translations from ckan and plugins.

For that purpose, I create this issue:
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/issues/1340 and I'm preparing a PR.

Right now, I created a ``i18n-merge`` command that can be used like this:

paster --plugin=ckan i18n-merge --conf=path/to/ckan.ini

What it does is:

- - locate all languages + translations in i18n directories in the ckan
core directory + root packages of all the enabled plugins
- - merge all the .po files under the LC_MESSAGES directories in a po
file inside ckan.i18n_directory
- - compile the new .po -> .mo

Right now I'm using the msgcat/msgfmt commands via subprocess, wich is
not optimal: I'm looking at the babel tools to figure out how to do
that using a Python-only solution.

If you want to know how to make your extension translatable, have a look
here:
https://github.com/opendatatrentino/ckan-custom-translations#how-to-make-extensions-translatable
(I'm going to add that to the official Ckan documentation in a future PR).

Cheers,
