[issue18217] Deprecate and remove gettext.install

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Which is what Barry's library does.

But rather than just deprecating install, I think we should fix the module so that it supports this directly.  That could be as simple as adding a dynamic translations class.

What does library code that wants to provide internationalization do, though?  Right now they could just use _, and tell library users they need to call gettext.install in their application.  Is there some other technique that is currently used?
