Make the pattern strings easier to translate by making each pattern a "plugin"

[NekoJonez]

Currently, to translate patterns it's one huge table with all the patterns in it.

Yet, I have been thinking that this could be in another way.

I think it would be great if it's easier to see if you translated all strings of a certain pattern.
Also, I think it would be nice if you were able to assign a PTE to a pattern. E.g. if somebody from your locale created a pattern... So, they can translate it easier.

Maybe this could work by making each pattern as a ""plugin"" (intentional quotes here)
Like each pattern can be displayed like plugin/theme translations are displayed?

I'm creating this ticket mostly to create some discussion about this, since I want to hear other people's thoughts about this (and also, I think this won't be an easy thing to create on a technical level)

For starters all latin strings could be marked with a label, as most people will not translate them. And next do not count them as to translate. Secondly remove all the duplicate texts, and make that a separate library as I already proposed to do with strings from themes and plugins. That has the benefit that the database gets smaller, and less to translate the same strings over and over.

Another improvement would be to define the text for Lorem ipsum. There are many originals that tell the same story, but each with a slightly different text. That frustrates translators, as they need to pay attention to the differences. Why not define a couple of defaults for them and tell pattern creators to use these defined texts???
