please migrate to the new Fedora translation platform

[Jibec]

Hello, the Fedora project migrates its translation platform to Weblate [1].

This tool directly interact with your git repository, and requires us to know:

• [mandatory] which branch is your development branch?
• [mandatory] have you merged latest translation from Zanata and locked the project?
• [info] Weblate will handle updates when pot file changes, don't edit po files for this [2]
• [optional] what is the license of translation? (please use a code from https://spdx.org/licenses/)
• [optional] do you have any announcement/warning you would like to display to the translators? (it will be displayed in Weblate)
• [optional] do you need us to activate any specific checks? (this is a setting per component [3])
• [optional] do you need us to automatically detect new translation files? (typical usecase: website translation with one translation file per page)

Please note:

• For github hosted projects, Weblate open pull request. For other project, you'll have to add a key to allow commits.
• In Weblate's vocable, one project is a group of component. Each component is a translation file. You can have many projects or many components or both.
• You can change your mind over time, just reach trans@lists.fedoraproject.org

hi, to make this happen:

• pull latest translation from Zanata (zanata pull) and lock the project
• make sure all po files have at least one string translated (some project did create empty translations fles with zanata cli)
• commit your pot file in you repo (you'll have to change your makefile)
• connect once to https://translate.fedoraproject.org/ and give me your username

then, I'll do project creation, first configuration and set you admin

weblate will automatically update po files when you update the pot file
weblate can also update your LINGUAS file each time a language is added
please let me know if you want some help

Done. Logged with my Fedora account (mchehab).

thanks, first configuration is done: https://translate.fedoraproject.org/projects/camorama/
mchehab is admin

weblate will open a pull request three days after first translator contribution (earlier if a language reach 100%)
weblate will squash commit to limit the number of translations commits

please add the pot file in the repository, so Weblate can harmonize language files and allow contributors to add new languages

I don't know why, but Weblate doesn't detect your LINGUAS file, I feel like this is related to the fact the pot file isn't part of the repository

do you know what these files are used for? en@quot.header and en@boldquot.header

No idea. I'm almost sure those were added when we upgraded to use latest gettext.

As everything there seems to be commented, perhaps they could simply be removed.
