Update languages files #1067
Description
Looking on https://github.com/CMB2/CMB2/tree/trunk/languages the languages last updates is like 8 months ago but there are updates on localization in different locales.
Maybe the next minor or major can have the languages updated :-)

Would appreciate any help you can provide.
What does that mean?

To be clear, I know embarrassingly little about language packs, and such, and pretty much exclusively depend on pull requests here to update the language packs.

On readme there is a reference to wp-translations (with dead links) but on Transifex there is the plugin in any case with a lot of locales https://www.transifex.com/wp-translations/cmb2/dashboard/

When I pull these down, there are a lot of false positives (e.g. the line numbers of have changed in the .po files, and that's it). If you see a specific language has received a good update, I can pull that one down and take a look.

Uhm because I complete translated the Italian as example few months ago but the last update is 8 months ago

Someone needs to go through all the .po files and update them from the source code. This would ge things re-matched up, translation lines pointed to the right spots, new text added, obsolete text removed, and the binary .mo files updated as well once saved.
I always use Poedit for this with products that still ship their own translation files.

@Mte90 ok, which file is that? e.g.
languages/cmb2-<lang>.poMte90 commentedon Nov 30, 2017

As @tw2113 said, this will take some manual work to review the changes to see which ones are relevant.

Why use Transifex/WP Translations.org at all? Since CMB2 lives as a plugin in the WordPress plugin repo, we can rely solely on the translation projects here. If you need help sorting this out and making it work natively, just let me know!
Update italian translation files. Props @Mte90. Closes CMB2#1067
