Make the code translatable

• Import the gettext module

from gettext import gettext as _

• Mark strings as translatable using _('String')

self._forward.set_tooltip(_('Forward'))

Generate the POT file

• You will need to generate it and push it in the repository every time you add strings. (XXX how do we automatize it)

./setup.py dist
