[WG: I18N & L10N] 2.7.0: i18n, new features

[Beth Kirschner]

Anthony,

If you don't mind, I'd find it easier to list the JIRA's in the  
content of this email (since I've pulled them from JIRA queries).  
There have been numerous minor clean up issues related to  
internationalization -- I've tried to list the more significant  
changes, but since this is subjective, anyone should feel free to  
expand on this list.

NEW:
* http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-18165 Tool names doesn't  
change when setting language preferences to English
* http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17563 User Preferences Tool  
doesn't display language/locale/variant defined in sakai.properties  
locales
* http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17558 Automatic file  
encoding detection
* http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-16919 Optional properties  
don't change language-dependent displayed text
* http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-16422 Tools sorting  
incorrectly international characters
* http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-2601 Use human readable (and  
translatable) language for end users in permission matrixes
* http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-15480 Unable to export  
Gradebook with UTF-8 character names
* http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-15479 Unable to export  
Roster with UTF-8 character names

Translations:

* Catalan updates
* Spanish updates
* Russian updates
* Japanese updates
* Portuguese updates
* Swedish updates
