[josm-dev] JOSM Translations

[Dirk Stöcker]

Hello,

I did checkin a major change today. The translation data for JOSM plugins 
is no longer contained in the JOSM core, but now each plugin has 
individual files.

This has a lot of advantages:
  - JOSM core is smaller (should not be much, but a little bit)
  - Plugin translation is independent of core version
  - 3rd party plugins can use the same translation infrastructure:
    There is a perl script creating the files from .pot and .po
  - It is much cleaner design

It also has some disadvantages:
  - Much more files in SVN
  - The I18N update process is much slower now
  - Plugins carry all translations of a plugin including the ones already
    present in core (I could remove these, but I wanted to keep the core
    independence as told bove) - For many-plugin-users this may increase
    size a bit.

I did not change the Launchpad translation method, so Launchpad still has 
only one project with all texts included. I think splitting this has no 
real advantages. I only changed the order a bit, so that plugin texts 
should be always last (previous the came after core and before presets and 
other stuff).

ATTENTION: This change needed rebuilding of ALL plugins. I may have made 
errors, so please be aware of trouble and report such when it occurs.

Plugins scripting and contourmerge aren't developed in SVN anymore, so I 
dropped them. Links to external download ressources are required for 
these, but I was unable to find correct links.

Ciao
