[QGIS-Developer] translate plugin gui and log messages

[Jonas]

Hi Roberta,

You do not mention using the pylupdate program, you should use that to 
create the ts files, because only this way you extract the text strings 
from the python files. Qt Creator does not care about the python scripts 
at all.

see
https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/plugins.html?highlight=plugin#ts-file

Cheers

Jonas
