I am about to provide Czech translations. This PR just adds po/messages.pot as it is needed for LP translations to discover messages used. Once merged I would switch the main branch on LP to your upstream instead of mine fork.

Question: you are using en_QQ, as probably it is better readable in the terminal for kids. For any translation, I prefer to treat .po files without "spaces" between letters. Can you draft what way we automate the generation of cz_QQ variant? BTW: Not sure if related, but LP offers for English (https://translations.launchpad.net/terminal-quest/+add-custom-language-code) an English code en@quote and en@boldquote.

If you are interested in the LP translations, would be great to add one of our users/emails to the ownership of the LP project I started.

Hi,
thanks for this.
We don't normally check in messages.pot, as it is an autogenerated file. Does LP really need it checked in?

Regarding en_QQ, we don't use that for readability purposes - it exists to allow English-speaking testers to spot internationalisation failures (strings not marked as translatable, wrapping failures, etc). We weren't anticiapting using it as a UI feature. Do you find terminal quest not sufficiently readable? That wold probably be better addressed in the GTK CSS.

Hi, well messages.pot is required by LP (you may one load by file at the beginning) but having it in repo - it is processed automatically, the same for updates I guess.

Ok, let's forget my question to _QQ, not important I count to deliver cz.po

Questions not answered:

  1. Will do you tend to merge messages.pot based on the above?
  2. If you are interested in the LP translations, what users/emails I should add to the ownership of the LP project I started (so you can control it in future).
