16960	Refactor d.u.translations.trans_real to support xmb files, clean up code	arb@…	nobody	"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."	New feature	closed	Internationalization	1.3	Normal	duplicate			Design decision needed	0	0	0	0	0	0
