po_create

<code>po_create()</code> creates a new <code>po/{languages}.po</code> containing the messages to be
translated.
Generally, we expect you to use <code>po_create()</code> to create new <code>.po</code> files
but if you call it with an existing translation, it will update it with any
changes from the <code>.pot</code>. See <code>po_update()</code> for details.

Translating messages in R packages is managed using the po
top-level directory and the 'gettext' program. This package provides
some helper functions for building this support in R packages, e.g.
common validation & I/O tasks.
