[Systems] Migrating Pootle from Justice to Bender

[Chihurumnaya Ibiam]

I've been running tests with ubuntu 18 as pootle is based on Python 2 and
I'm not sure there's support
for Python 2 there, ran into too many issues when I tried with ubuntu 22
too.

I'll test with ubuntu 18 and 20 and let you know which is viable.
