Description

Now that there is a new translation format in the engine in 5.10, there is a breadth of translations in packages that need to be converted. There should be a script under the modtools repo that allows for a modder to easily convert the translations from .tr to .po when version support becomes viable.

Bringing in or basing it on @Wuzzy2's [ltt_convert.py](https://codeberg.org/Wuzzy/Luanti_Translation_Tools/src/branch/master/README_ltt_convert.md) sounds like a good idea.

Research direction

Start in the modtools repository by reviewing the issue requirements and the linked ltt_convert.py documentation. Determine how legacy .tr translations should be converted to .po once version support is viable, using the referenced tool as a basis. Done means modders can run a script that performs the conversion for package translations.
