Very good reasoning, thank you!
It seems that we have drawn a consensus here.

I have no objections to any of the options to use short 'po' and or
long 'translations'. The only important thing is that we find the
consensus and then unify it in all modules. Similarly to 'desktops'

Not going to chime in on the rest, since it has little to do with me,
but I also vote for "translations". The problem with using "po" is
that
it doesn't make it clear what the files are unless you already know how
the translation system works. Also, the meaning of "po" might become
opaque if details like the file extension used by the system change, so
"translations" is more future-proof.
--4. How
to organize translation files in source git repositories?
Currently, the organizing of the translation files is
inconsistent. Therefore, it seems appropriate to harmonize the
layout of directories with translations.
Here are a few of the variations used: + po/<lang>.po +
po/<lang>/<app>.po + translations/<lang>/<app>.po +
translations/<lang>/messages/<app>.po
For desktop file translations, all languages are required to be
located in the same directory, named in accordance with the
language. For example:
+ po/desktops/<desktop-name>.pot +
po/desktops/<desktop-name>/<lang>.po
Do you prefer the directory name "po" or "translations"? In this
directory, it seems to me a good breakdown by purpose -
"messages", "desktops", because this will allow in the future to
add "docs", "manpages". The structure could look like this:
po/desktops/abakus.desktop.pot
po/desktops/abakus.desktop/<lang>.po po/messages/abakus.pot
po/messages/abakus/<lang>.po
What is your opinion?
How about this?
translations/desktop_files/pot/<all pot files of the module>
translations/desktop_files/<lang>/<all po files of the module for
the language> translations/messages/pot/<all pot files of the
module> translations/messages/<lang>/<all po files of the module for
the language> E. Liddell
