Translations of metadata

 

So, translations. I've been talking a bit with the people closer to
the potential customers for the Ubuntu Phone, and it seems we will
need to have a basic i8n story in place after all.

Thinking about the simplest way possible, and since the relevant
metadata (description, etc) will be entered and live on the server,
I'd like to explore us just having a simple toggle on the web ui that
switches between languages and people can type in (or paste) the text
for each language.
I'd like to explicitly exclude any automation for metadata
translations for the moment as that would be much more complex. Also,
this discussion excludes the actual application's translations.

So, Matias, Ricardo, Michael, James, what would we need to do in order
to support this both on the MyApps side and on the search index side
of things?
