Description
Right now the .mo file support is baked in pretty deep to the translations stuff. It would be useful (to me, and I've seen other people out there talking as well) if it could support other formats, such as XMB/XTB format (http://cldr.unicode.org/development/development-process/design-proposals/xmb)
In addition, looking at the code in trans_real.py it's a bit nasty, with nested functions all over the place. It could do with a bit of a cleanup/refactor.
I'm most likely going to need to do this anyway, but if there's interest I can look at contributing the code back upstream.

While I appreciate the gesture, this is a rather big proposal and needs a bit more clarification than what you provided in the ticket description. As this is more than a refactor (but an actual feature addition) I'd like to encourage you to follow our contribution policy and send a detailed proposal to the django-developers list.
Marking as design decision needed for now..

I just requalified the scope of #14974. As a consequence, this ticket is now a duplicate.
Just to clarify - I'm proposing to refactor the code to clean it up and make it so you can supply pluggable translation engines.
