I have no objections to any of the options to use short 'po' and or

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>
