[Building Sakai] i18n open issues fixing process

[Jean-Francois Leveque]

Dear David,

ULCO and UPMC, French Sakai Universities, are currently working on a 
major update of the French translation for inclusion into 2.8 (intended 
for our 2.7 production and later versions). This is leading us to 
problems in the i18n. We will report what we find back to you and tool 
leads.

I hope we will find time to contribute to your effort in other ways.

I will gladly hear how you intend to match JIRA bug priority (which is 
in fact criticality) with i18n requirements. I hope I will have time to 
contribute to the i18n bug triage.

Cheers,

J-F
