[ckan-dev] Can extensions provide their own *.po files?

Hi David,

There's no oficially supported way of doing it yet. The best workaround I
could find so far is to have your .po files in your extension, and using
msgcat to merge them with the core translations. Check
https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-mx for an example of how this can be done.

Cheers,
