Hi, i've seen some uses of kdecore.i18n popping up in Paté plugins, and
have some recommendations:

2. It takes more than one argument. so for the sake of consistency instead
of doing the ugly
    i18n(b'foo %(name)s.') % { 'name': 'bar'}
or even the better
    i18n(b'foo {name}.').format(name='bar')
we should do the Qt-style
    i18n(b'foo %1.', 'bar')

1.  i18n takes byte strings. even on python3. this means that every time a
developer accustomed to python2 who doesn't know it tries to use it, the
plugin WILL break for python3 users.

we have to come up with a solution.

there is a possible solution here, but it involves a fairly convoluted i18n
replacement:
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/applications/kate/repository/revisions/master/en \
try/addons/kate/pate/src/plugins/python_console_ipython/python_console_ipython.py#L36

should we add that function to libkatepate and call it a day?
