Makefile locale handling

Thomas requested to merge github/fork/coldtobi/Makefile_locale_handling into master

Created by: coldtobi

Proposal how to handle locales

as described in #249: quoted for convenience:

My plan of attack would be:

  • add a rule to generate the pot file*
  • add rules to generate the mo files at build time
  • subsequently removing the mo files from the repository

(* as you know the pot file needs updating and cannot be regenerated from scratch without losing all translated texts… and git does not preserve timestamp. So it would be safer to run the pot generation always or use some stamp file) with some kind of stamp file.)

(I've intentionally made small commits to explain what my thoughts were in the commit messages. Of course, I can squash them, if you want)
