I've made a Makefile to call po4a and update the POTs, POs, and
translations.

You can have a look at it and see how it works (I took the translations
from the existing French translations=20

I also have the French POs for version 5.6.2 and 5.9.4, but I would like
to make tests for merging from a version to the other (I did it manually,
but would like to do it in the makefile). The makefile also lack a rule t=
o
detect strings translated differently from one PO to the other.

The Makefile has rules like all-pots, all-update-po, all-translate

update_pots_fr, translate_fr, update_po_fr
or even update_pots_fr_5.8.8, translate_fr_5.8.8 and update_po_fr_5.8.8

It can also show statistics: all-stats, stats_fr and stats_fr_5.8.8

The versions and languages are auto detected.

I will commit it if we agree on the hierarchy it creates in translations

In addition to helping in the infrastructure, I will also happily
participate in the translation and review process of the French
translation.
