[Building Sakai] Adding Profile2 mail translations toEmailTemplateService

[Steve Swinsburg]

The xml templates are used. They populate the email templates in the db which can be later edited in email template service. If you translate the templates, make up a new email template xml in the desired language and submit as a patch in Jira so that others can get that language as well.

It's also possible to have those XML templates update the db templates by eating the version number, so you might be better of starting that way.

Cheers,
Steve
