[issue18217] Deprecate and remove gettext.install

[Alex Gaynor]

Alex Gaynor added the comment:

I think the code makes what this does much clearer: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/01da7bf11ca1/Lib/gettext.py#l209

There's no reason you can't make your own translation object, and expose it's gettext method as as your API, and then you can update the underlying translation object to check locales. This is approximately exactly how Django works.
