Move non-core translations to a separate transifex project

[brian-smith-tcril]

It is possible to connect multiple transifex projects to a single repo. I tested this out by making a repo (https://github.com/brian-smith-tcril/test-multiproject-transifex) using multiple yaml config files, and was able to get the transifex app to make PRs from both associated projects.

Open questions:

• We use the transifex API to do some extra stuff such as rename resources, we'd likely need to update those actions to support multiple projects. What is needed to make that work?
• What repos do we want to move out of the main openedx-translations transifex project?
• What do we want to name the non-core transifex project/do we want to make multiple?

  • Do we need multiple tokens? I think the token is for the org not the project but it's worth checking.

  • get_transifex_project is currently hardcoded to look for openedx-translations, we'd need to update that to support getting the repo name as an argument

  • This was only used for moving translations from the edx-platform and xblocks projects into the openedx-translations project, we likely wouldn't need to change this.
