Uses class Language_Pack_Maker to create a directory of zip archives of translation mp/po files and a language-pack.json file containing data to pass to GitHub Updater.
The format of the generated JSON file is as follows.
[
{
"translations": [
{
"type": "{plugin|theme} from GitHub Updater",
"slug": "{$slug}",
"language": "en_US",
"version": "from GitHub Updater",
"updated": "2016-05-12 18:04:38 of .mo or .po file",
"package": "/packages/github-updater-en_US.zip",
"autoupdate": "1"
}
]
}
]

$transient->translations( array(
0 => array(
'type' => 'plugin',
'slug' => 'akismet',
'language' => 'de_CH',
'version' => '3.1.11',
'updated' => '2016-05-12 18:04:38',
'package' => 'https://downloads.wordpress.org/translation/plugin/akismet/3.1.11/de_CH.zip',
'autoupdate' => 1,
),
) );GitHub Updater with merge the correlative plugin or theme data with the data retrieved from the language-pack.json to add data to the update transient.
