PG_DUMP NLS (Russian)

I was noticing that most of the translations are just being put into the
root of the source tree. I just thought I would point out that could get
messy and many projects realizing this have created a po directory off the
source tree to store the translations in. It might be worthwhile to
create such a directory and implement this now then when more and more
translations start pouring in. Just a very concrete sequential way of
keeping the "real" code visible.

Not exactly into the source root, but to the source
of individual components prepared for the NLS.

There was discussion at some point going on AFAIR on the topic or
close to the topic, but I don't recall how it ended. But this idea is
not new, and I don't remember why this approach wasn't followed...

One could've created a /po dir as you are saying and have translations
under it with directories for every component. But I'm not sure how
the gettext and other tools work, so I it might be specifics of the
tools. I still have to install them in order to use. But it's Peter
Eisentraut is in charge of NLS, so I guess he can clarify these points
better than I.

I don't have a strong opinion about this other than "it's easier the way
it is now". Once we get annoyed by it we can always change.

Well, it kind of make sense to keep all the po files under a separate directory,
as a special kind of sub-tree, and it's easier to keep track of because all
translations are in the same place, and there isn't much of "distortion"
and "noise" for an eye of a developer looking for the source files in the source
code tree. For instance for psql we have already Czech, German, French, Russian,
Swedish, and two Chinese translations, that is 6 po files, and one expects their
number ot grow. They don't really belong to the source code... 'me thinks'.

How I invision this is to have a /src/nls dir, and components' dirs under it:

/src/nls/
postgres/*.po
pg_dump/*.po
psql/*.po
libpq/*.po
anyothercomponent/*.po

But it's just me, and if it is easier to keep things the way they are
now, well you are the boss, but it might be harder to change them in the future
then if one will want to.
