18673	POT file generator	sirzooro		"POT file for plugins can be downloaded using generator on plugin's admin page. This is a bit inconvenient, because I have to upload new plugin version first, then download .pot file, update Polish translation files and after this continue with plugin version release. I would like to have ability to generate .pot file from WP itself. I know about [http://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers#Generating_a_POT_file wordpress-i18n tools], but they are unix-only (they use `system()` to call external gettext utilities). 

Therefore I ask to integrate .pot file generation functionality into WP core, or (better) create plugin which will do this. Of course it should be platform-independent."	feature request	closed	normal		WordPress.org site		normal	wontfix	needs-patch
