UIRD i18n HOWTO 

ru_RU.UTF-8 example:

# Make dirs for RU locale
i18n/usr/lib/consolefonts/ru_RU.UTF-8 # Do not create the folder if you do not plan to add a font
i18n/usr/lib/kbd/ru_RU.UTF-8 # Do not create the folder if you do not plan to add a keymap
i18n/usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES
i18n/usr/share/uird.help/ru_RU.UTF-8 # Do not create the folder if you do not plan to translate a help files

# make links
i18n/usr/lib/consolefonts/ru --> ./ru_RU.UTF-8
i18n/usr/lib/kbd/ru --> ./ru_RU.UTF-8
i18n/usr/share/uird.help/ru --> ./ru_RU.UTF-8

Put the font file to i18n/usr/lib/consolefonts/ru_RU.UTF-8
Put the map file to i18n/usr/lib/kbd/ru_RU.UTF-8
Put translated help files to i18n/usr/share/uird.help/ru_RU.UTF-8

Now you need to translate UIRD messages
To translate using gettext:

# Get pot file
sed 's/$GETTEXT/GETTEXT/g' ./modules.d/00uird/livekit/{livekitlib,uird*} | xgettext -o uird.pot  -L Shell --keyword --keyword=GETTEXT -

# if the first time
msginit -i uird.pot -o i18n/usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/uird.po -l ru.UTF-8

# if not the first time 
msgmerge -U i18n/usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/uird.po uird.pot
cd i18n/usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/

# Now you need to edit the uird.po file

msgfmt -v ./uird.po -o ./uird.mo

# Translation is completed
