Please, support localization for Unicode block description and character description.

Translations are available from https://github.com/unicode-table/unicode-table-data/tree/master/loc If possible, use a gettext 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.

For example, now is possible only in English:

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

So unicodedata could provide a way to translate LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S to e.g. German with:

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

and something similar for unicodedata.category
