[Building Sakai] [WG: I18N & L10N] SAK-17694 and SAK-17692

[Alex Ballesté]

I don't know if setting up all texts in sakai.properties is a good 
solution (too much strings). Maybe we could think about setting up a 
directory (like skin.repo) with html files that contains each copyright 
text.  Ex

sakai.properties:
copyright.directory = /library/copyright

...
Files:

iholdcopyright_fr.html
iholdcopyright_ca.html
iholdcopyright_es.html
iholdcopyright.html
ihavepersmission_fr.html
ihavepersmission_ca.html
ihavepersmission_es.html
ihavepersmission.html

Selecting the default language from tomcat when copyright is not 
translated to the user selected language, is in my opinion the best choice.

As you know University of Lleida is member of S2U, that is working hard 
i18n issues. We are very interested in to improve i18n and work to solve 
that problems.

Thanks

>>      I would like to discuss about https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17692 and https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17694 that are related with copyright types internationalization. At these two JIRAs are patches to fix them and, from my point of view, they can be commited as they are backward compatible. Anyway, as copyright and DRM are a sensitive issue, I would like to have your feedback before to procceed. Thus, I will appreciate any comment or additional testing.

>>      Basically, you can follow this guidelines when testing it:
>> 1. Set your languages preferences to X.
>> 2. Create a resource in sakai.resources and set copyright status (in language X).
>> 3. Set your languages preferences to Y.
>> 4. Access the created resource. Copyright status should be set to the same value (but translated) or, if the transalation is not available, to the original text (in language X).

>>      Thank you very much for your collaboration.
