[Localization] New localization project for Scottish Gaelic

Hi!

You are right, these must be localized in upstream Qt.
And that's where the good news end, localizing Qt is a massive PITA.

You must checkout the Qt sources from their git repository, create a Qt
account, upload SSH keys, make the translation in the target branch, then
push it to their gerrit server.

If you manage to do this, please tell us how did you do it, because I
couldn't. We did the whole translation thing for Qt 5.6, but I did not
manage to push it in two months.

Sorry for the rant, but I think that this is ridiculous for such a large
software project.

Regards,
Balázs
