Translations

Discussion on translation: In general, we use PO for translations. We do that because there is a lot of infrastructure for translators. In order to create a PO file, we need a POT (PO template) file. From the template file, you can generate individual PO files. Old translations no longer used are put at the bottom of the file. There is a separate process that takes the PO file and generates an INI file for use in JS. There is a repository with Python scripts in Walter's repo: https://github.com/walterbender/po-utils

Run live issue: https://github.com/sugarlabs/planet-server/issues/12

To improve our samples, we need different categories of samples that MB can call in certain scenarios: e.g. high, mid, low, short, long, staccato,
