[UI Translation] Migrate to a newer

[nielx]

Currently we are using Pootle (version 2.7). The project seems to be currently unmaintained, so at some point (post R1?) it may be a good idea to migrate to something else.

Wishlist:

• Online translation
• Offline translation
• Export of the result - perhaps even user friendly so that it can be tested on the fly

[nielx]

Configuration changes:

• In the DATABASES string the engine should be set to 'django.db.backends.postgresql'
• Add the POOTLE_FS_WORKING_PATH setting
• Add the POOTLE_CANONICAL_URL setting
• Change the POOTLE_MARKUP_FILTER setting

Before doing migrations run: DROP INDEX pootle_store_suggestion_state; to fix the problem below.

The haiku-sysadmin user no longer exists, changing to haiku-web.

Pootle seems a bit unmaintained nowadays. Today at FOSDEM I was approached by someone from Weblate who could apparently help us migrate to their platform. Or we could consider KapiX's tool as well.

[nielx]

Indeed I have noticed. It seems dead.

I have modified the ticket.
