translate UI enhancements

[scd]

• better permissions handling
• auto create missing language directories
• verify presence of placemarkers (eg if we as the dev's add a new english string like "There are {count} things" and then someone translates it to "There are some things" then it could throw a validation error because it doesn't contain the {count} token)
• perl is very sensitive to malformed information. If the input text is not valid utf8 then it is not stored. This needs further research.
• system does no crash if a translation file has a bad format

If we go with multiple translators for each language we need some collaboration helpers
Add meta data fields to each key each lang and add filters to the UI:

• new translated (some kind of ready for review)
• mark for discussion
• comments
• who has done the translation

Hmmm, that was sort of what I was getting at with using a DB design.

I log who made the update and what it was changed to. But this in a log not the UI. If we take Phillip up on his offer I will not have made any of the above enhancements.

I think we need to keep it small and have one "lead translator" per language in order to stay consistent with terms. The lead could check the logs, no?

later on we go with languages we do not know personal and also do not
have a "friend" in hand for being the main translator. It is most likely
that many languages will be translated be a group of volunteers.
Therefor i guess we need good support tools.

What about only storing the meta data in a db schema: using the lang and
key as ID.

I think this is all in place, closing
