[Building Sakai] Suggestion for improvement of i18n and L10n handling in JIRA

[Jean-Francois Leveque]

What are you gonna do if someone names a component "zlog" or "ZZ Top"? I 
think it's a too low tech workaround for a thing I see as fundamentally 
wrong. Internationalization was a component in the past, but it's not 
anymore since 2.6.0 unless we're talking about kernel.

This won't fix mixing i18n and L10n issues. And I'm against creating a 
translation component because I feel it's wrong.
