I've set up Gwibber for internationalization and localization (i18n - l10n) support; modified the setup.cfg and setup.py to use DistUtilsExtra for handling the i18n building; set as translatable the string in the gwibber.desktop file so now they are inside the PO file for translators; renamed gwibber.desktop into gwibber.desktop.in for making it possible to translate; created the po/ directory with POT files and POTFILES.in; started to mark as translatable the strings from the UI (need more work to discovery which strings are really going to be visible to end users); modified the license in the About dialog to a more concise version of the GPL (need more work to discovery why the translators-credit strings doesn't appear).

Excellent work Milo.

Is there any other infrastructure work needed to start using rosetta (https://translations.launchpad.net/gwibber) for accepting translations?

There are a couple of thins that I need to look into the code: a couple
of strings that need to be rewritten for making them clearer to
translators and a couple more of strings that I have to check if need to
be translated (any advice is welcome!).

Apart from that, it's now possible to host the translations inside
Launchpad. If somebody is going to load them in Launchpad, I suggest to
assign the translations to a team: actually there are "Ubuntu
Translators" and "Launchpad Translators". The first one is (obviously)
dedicated at translating the Ubuntu distribution, but not only, they
have some external packages as swell; the second one is a more generic
translation group and is kind of new: it's *not* a group of people
translating Launchpad interface, it's a container of translation groups
that have an active team in Launchpad and that are following certain
"rules". If you want to discuss more this aspect we can have a private
email or meet on IRC, it's a little bit complex right now... :)

Cheers.
