15832	Use Babel instead of xgettext for handling .po files.	Łukasz Rekucki	nobody	"Currently `makemessages` converts templates to pseudo-Python which is then passed to xgettext tool. Similar pattern is used for JavaScript files (using pseudo-Perl). 

Babel instead provides an extensible API to define custom extractors. It also handles message catalogs without using xgettext, which removes a binary dependency from Django. "	New feature	closed	Internationalization		Normal	fixed		Anton Strogonoff	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
