For 3.2-3.10-Adds a Blank Screen option, to turn the screen off, to the User Menu (aka status menu). For higher than 3.10 please see: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/897/turn-off-display/ Also works from, and doesn't close, the Activites Overview. Useful if you have a long lock time set and/or just want to turn the screen off without locking it. Credit to xtranophilist.

i rejected v7 for obvious reasons, but i need the locale/translations reviewed as it seems the g:s 3.8 im running doesn't correctly change the locale so i can't test anything that has translations. i got most of my documentation from here https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Extensions/FAQ/CreatingExtensions though, so hopefully everything is fine?
To do gettext you need convenience.js from gnome-shell-extensions, and then call initTranslations() inside init().
