According to Jan Schneider's reply to the "horde" mailing list on 
2018-07-05 (topic was "horde-translation does not work anymore on code 
downloaded via pear"), the .horde.yml file is available in Git only, so 
the command does not work on installs done via pear. He suspected this 
behavior to be introduced by the split of the repositories.

Back then, Jan suggested to create a ticket for this, which I did: 
<https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/14830>. But Michael Rubinsky does not 
consider this to be a bug. He thinks that the translation command needs 
to work on Git checkouts only, and the previous ability to work on pear 
installs is a bonus now gone.

The only useful advice that I can give about this topic is that the 
version of "horde-translation" that is part of version 5.2.17 still 
works and does not require a .horde.yml file. So installing the old 
version of the "horde" package and copying the included 
"horde-translation" file to another location works as of now, but I 
wouldn't bet on that for the time coming.
