Sure:

ls po/*.po 2>/dev/null | awk 'BEGIN { FS="[./]"; ORS=" " } { print $2 }'

The 2>/dev/null is to hide errors when there aren't any .po files, like
when we have a new module.  Not necessary, since stderr won't get passed
to the pipe otherwise, but it's neater.

Alternatively, we could use "find po -name '*.po' | sort | ...", but ls
is fine.
