[openlp-dev] Small Jobs for New Contributors

[Olli Suutari]

I've proposed review for this branch.

https://code.launchpad.net/~suutari-olli/openlp/ui-messages-part-1/+merge/291447

How do I "regenerate the base translation file"?.

I've tried translation_utils.py -p -u but it does not seem to work
Iv'e also tried to run: generate_resources.sh but that seemed to have no
effect either.

4-6: How can I edit the manual?
