Make translations possible

[Daniel Holbach]

Make translations possible. Ok, so this needs a bit more explanation.

So far we have:
 - generate-pot which generates a .pot file, leaving out the
   pelican-specific meta data (Title, Save_as, etc.)

What we need is:
1) generate-pot to leave in "Title:" as we want that translated.
2) a new command to generate translated content. What we
   currently have in Makefile is this:

translate:
        $(foreach po_file,$(PO_FILES),$(shell mkdir $(INPUTDIR)/pages/$(shell basename $(po_file) .po)))
        $(foreach md_file,\
                  $(MD_FILES),\
                  $(foreach po_file,\
                            $(PO_FILES),\
                            $(shell po4a-translate -k 0 -f text -o markdown -M utf-8 -L utf-8 \
                                -m $(md_file) -p $(po_file) \
                > $(INPUTDIR)/pages/$(shell basename $(po_file) .po)/$(shell basename $(md_file)))))

   but that's not good enough. It won't figure out the pelican-
   specific meta-data

3) Once done, we need to update the 'translate' and 'update-pot'
   targets in the Makefile
4) Update HACKING.

I'm calling it a day for today, any help will be appreciated.

This is all done in lp:~dholbach/ubuntu-devices-help/1416389 (prereq: lp:~dholbach/ubuntu-devices-help/translations-module), except it doesn't work.

The meta-data strings are excluded from the .pot file (works fine), but they get re-added twice (once through us, as expected - once through po4a-translate).

I need help fixing this.
