[WG: I18N & L10N] I18N support for Role name and Site type

[Gao Jun]

Hi all,

I'm now working on I18N support for Role name (instructor, student,
maintain, etc.) and site type(course, project).
Since many tools use these names with string stored in DB, so a lot of
work need to be done.

Up to now, I made I18N support for Role worked under site-manage and
authz tool, and the todo list is still long.

I wonder if anyone has tried work on this before or any JIRA issue
already exists.
If there is no JIRA issue on this, I'll create a new one.

Here is my solution(Role name for example)
Use a strategy like tool menu, which has default L10N message and user
can alter it.

Add a new properties file under folder config/localization
Add a method getName to Role which use the way like get name of a tool.
Modify the corresponding tools to add I18N support.

Is anyone interested in this?
