Support localization

[PanderMusubi]

Please, support localization for Unicode block and character description translations from https://github.com/unicode-table/unicode-table-data/tree/master/loc If possible, use a gettetxt approach similar to https://pypi.org/project/pycountry/ Implementing this feature will allow users to read Unicode descriptions in their own language, other than English.

I don't understand. Unidecode does not "allow users to read Unicode descriptions" and does not contain "Unicode block and character descriptions".

[PanderMusubi]

Use localization from the files of unicode-table to translate descriptions of Unicode characters. For example, now is possible only in English:

from unicodedata import name
print(name('ß'))
LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S

So unidecode could provide a way to translate LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S to e.g. German with (proposed code):

from unicodedata import name
from gettext import translation
from unidecode import LOCALED_DIR
german = translation('Unicode' LOCALED_DIR, languages=['de'])
german.install()
print(_(name('ß')))
LATEINISCHER KLEINBUCHSTABE SCHARFES S

I think you are confusing unicodedata and unidecode. This is outside of the scope of this library, which does transliteration.

Indeed, my bad. Sorry and gonna move the issue to there. Thanks.
