There are various issues with this patch:
- It needs to be broken up - one change, one patch. There are 4
distinct changes here, that each need to be reviewed on their own
merit.
- The changes to the translation mechanism need discussion. How will
it work? What do developers have to do differently? When will the
changes it allows be implemented?
- There are no doc updates corresponding to the changes to the
translation mechanism.
- What does the jasmine testing actually do? There are no doc or
README updates to describe it.
- There is no update to libraries.txt
- The jasmine code seems to be littered with cruft that we don't want
to be carrying in our repo. Can it be reduced to the bare minimum
CSS/JS files?
- Test code (including jasmine) needs to be isolated from the
application code, e.g. in a tests/ directory. Future versions of
pgAdmin will exclude the test suite code from their packaging.

I think that's a pre-requisite for any additional test functionality
at this point, given that we're moving to fully automated testing.
Thanks, Dave.
