[Bf-committers] moving i18n from UI_interface to blenkernel

Hi,

A Brecht's commit regarding nodes (41633) broke the i18n process 
(IFACE_(name) works at execution time, but xgettext has no way to find 
the strings to translate).

That is a small glitch indeed, but it raises a problem that we’ll have 
too when it comes to translating messages (BKE_report and co): with this 
commit, I need to use IFACE_ in node_[composite/shader/texture]_tree.c, 
and I don’t think including UI_interface.h here is good!

(We already have an
     #include "UI_interface.h" /* bad level call into editors */
in bpy_rna.c...)

Hence, the question: would it be a good idea to move the i18n macros and 
funcs from UI to BKE (e.g. place them into BKE_blender.h)? If so, I’m 
volunteering ;)

Best regards,
Bastien
