[QGIS-Developer] Translation state of master

[Werner Macho]

Hi Borys,
Not pushing the translations with every update to git has its purpose.
It is not necessary to blow up git because they can be pulled from
transifex at any time.

Regarding the quality you are maybe right - but in fact transifex gave us a
big boost in translations (because it is easy to handle) and a lot of new
people are now participating in the translation.

>From my point of view it is not necessary to store the translations in
git,but you are right that there should be a few releases with translations
before the final release, but IIRC the nightly releases are built with
freshly pulled translations.
But again this is a part to ask Jürgen which binary is with the most recent
translations.

regards
Werner
