Edit a translation object in-memory using a simple interface

1	edit_translation(translation, language, pkg = ".", domain = "R")

`translation`	An object of class `"po"`, such as returned by `make_translation`. In lieu of `translation`, `language` and `pkg` and `domain` can be specified, which will load the translation from file using `read_translation`.
`language`	A character string specifying a language, as either: (1) “ll”, an ISO 639 two-letter language code (lowercase), or (2) “ll_CC”, an ISO 639 two-letter language code (lowercase) and ‘CC’ is an ISO 3166 two-letter country code (uppercase).
`pkg`	The directory of an R package to extract diagnostic messages from. Path is passed to `as.package`.
`domain`	A character string specifying the “domain” of the messages. Either “R” (the default) or “C”. This is case insensitive.

An object of class "po".

Emacs users may find the gettext PO file editor more comfortable: https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#PO-Mode.
