Extend localizations

[jzaefferer]

Currently there are about 35 localizations, almost all of them contributed by users of the plugin. There's still a lot of other languages, and waiting for people to jump in is not a good way to get to full support. Using launchpad translations could be a good way to crowdsource the work, but would require actually specifiying which languages to support and creating something there for people to start with: https://translations.launchpad.net/
An alternative is https://www.transifex.net/

Here's the list from the official jQuery globalize plugin.

Before trying to actually crowdsource the translations, I need to figure out how to deal with additional methods. Should those get their translations as part of the other files? Probably needs #581 resolved first.

I'm sorry for the lack of activity on this issue. Instead of leaving it open any longer, I decided to close old issues without trying to address them, to longer give the false impression that it will get addressed eventually.

To the reporter (or anyone else interested in this issue): If you're affected by the same issue, consider opening a new issue, with a testpage that shows the issue. Even better, try to fix the issue yourself, and improve the project by sending a pull request. This may seem daunting at first, but you'll likely learn some useful skills that you can apply elsewhere as well. And you can help keep this project alive. We've documented how to do these things, too. A patch is worth a thousand issues!

Yes, very sad.
