[Bug 1414154] [NEW] switch to external translation system

[Sumana Harihareswara]

Public bug reported:

Finish the transition to an externally managed translation system. This
is necessary for the Mailman 3.0 release.

Right now someone has to send new translations to Mark and he has to do
a new release with new catalogs; see
http://wiki.mailman.psf.io/DEV/Internationalization and
http://wiki.mailman.psf.io/DEV/i18nhowto for more info. We have some
notes at http://wiki.mailman.psf.io/DEV/Managing%20Translations about
what we want in the future. It must be free software (this is why we
cannot use Transifex).

The workflow Barry would love: a developer can develop their software,
marking all strings for localisation. Someone can take the trunk branch
and run a tool to extract all the strings and provide Mailman developers
with GNU gettext catalogs, or make them available in a branch, or on the
web, so Mailman maintainers can check them out.

There exists enough distributed machinery that we should be able to do
this in a disconnected way.

-- a TODO for the Mailman 3.x series.)
