Add editor localization support (WIP)

[marynate]

Adding editor localization support.

• Specific language in editor setting
  
• Reading translation strings from [editor setting folder]/lang/[locale]/editor.po
  
  pls blame Goolge for bad translation :)

po template generated from xgettext and translated in POEditor

Wow, this is a great patch, i can't wait to use this amaze patch!
A personal question, @marynate are you Chinese?

[duzhi5368]

Good jobI'm waiting for this
The Chinese translation is very correct.

[marynate]

@sanikoyes, yes, I'm from china :)

Just started a new repo for anyone who interested in localizing Godot to his/her own prefer language:

this is awesome! will try to merge as soon as possible. I think for the
translations (.po files) maybe they could be zipped and added inside the
editor when it's built, the only requirement for CJK being to just download
an extra font and set it up. This could even be easily automated in the UI
with an option in Settings.

@reduz a idea is use dynamic ttf font to display CJK character without download/set font.
Load system ttf font file at bootstrap, etc:
On windows platform, load ttf in Windows/Fonts folder, Mac/Linux platfrom same to.
Also can support user special custom ttf font

Pseudo-code:
if settings->custom_font then
oad custom font
elif is_windows_platform then
load Windows/Fonts/msyh.font
elif is_linux_platform then
load /usr/share/fonts/truetype/xxxx.ttf
elif is_mac_platform then
load mac system font file
end

if not loaded font then
load bultin font
end

@sanikoyes I want to implement dynamic font rendering too, but what I had
in mind is probably a little more complex (rendering the whole text to a
texture on the fly instead of progressively generating a font texture) and
needs deeper changes to the way rendering is done. Would gladly accept
patches or work on that myself after managing to make a stable release, but
right now I really want to focus on having a first versioned, stable Godot,
so for this first version with localization I'd rather non-latin users
either download a font pack, or an installer is created that installs both
things, then we can see how to fix this properly for 1.1.

Do you think you could move the EditorTranslationServer as well as the _TR macro class to tools/editor ? so core remains mostly unmodified.

[marynate]

Since last commit:

• Refactor EditorTranslationServer and _TR macro into tools/editor/editor_translation.cpp
• Add "Install Editor Translation" option to install .po and setting locale automatically

All commits squashed and rebased on current master

[Calinou]

Bump. How is work on editor localization going (if any)? Is this pull request even mergeable today?

[reduz]

Planned for 1.2

#287 (comment).

[seadra]

Just so you know, that Japanese is cavespeak.

[akien-mga]

What's the status on this @reduz? You said it was planned for 1.2, do you still intend to get it into 2.0 or will it have to wait for 2.1 or later (as we're now trying to go towards releasing 2.0 final in the coming months)?

[marynate]

Rebased on current master.

[akien-mga]

Looks like @reduz went for his own implementation in the master branch, so I guess this PR must be closed. Thanks for the work you did though, I do hope it was used as an inspiration for the implemented system :)
