[ckan-dev] howto do a custom translation for a external plugin

[Armin Retterath]

hi florian,

thanx for the answer - it works as you expected ;-) .
i first copied the spatial/snippets directory to my extension and than
generate the pot file where i can find the relevant strings. after the
translation and compile, i deleted my local copy and it works ;-) .

now i have to fix some solr problems when enabling spatial search :-(

best regards
armin
