Generating .mo files

Gettext .po files are used for editing, but the application itself is using binary files to avoid overhead of parsing text files. Before being able to use the translation, they need to be generated. You can do this by executing the script

./scripts/generate-mo

It compiles the .mo files, prints translations stats and reports errors in translations. You need to have gettext installed to use this script.
