#189880 by keith.smith based on initial suggestions from O Govinda: much better help texts and descriptions for locale module, actually explaining its extended feature set in Drupal 6.

- Patch #163246 by keith smith, freso, O Govinda, catch, webchick et al: fixed minor spelling issues and fixed spacing issues.

#192406 follow up by JirkaRybka: fix missing textgroup by using the default text group for PO imports when otherwise not instructed

#192406 by myself: imported locale files were not put into the right textgroup selected on the interface

- Patch #192242 by catch, quicksketch, webchick, keith et all: usability improvements for the vocabulary/term forms.

 - use a two pass localization process so localization is ready for the configure form and profile tasks
 - fix awkward form API workarounds which were introduced before we used a full bootstrap anyway
 - allow for more usable localized profiles by letting them skip language selection
 - lots of documentation improvements to profiles and the installer functions

#190283 by myself and JirkaRbyka: use get_t() in pre-database setup code, add missing javascript key to language objects (kills notices) and document st() better

 - always prune the whole cache as string additions affect all languages
 - rebuild the language caches as needed, distributing this load among page requests

#169079 by yched: improve consistency of menu API and batch API by allowing batch definition in non .module files, which opens the possibility of better performing batches (which are likely to reside in .admin.inc files generally)
 - apply this change in locale.module
 - improve batch API code documentation

 - make searches work again, better worded
 - do not cache English stuff
 - fix strike through on string seek page
 - fix exports for translations

#162324 by mooffie: keep previously default language enabled and only increment enabled language count, if we are in fact adding an enabled language

- Patch #163191 by hswong3i: removed db_num_rows() for compatibility with Oracle and DB2.  Also a performance improvement.

#164209 by mooffie: native language names were not shown in the predefined language dropdown for RTL languages

#159463 by hass (with phpdoc addition from myself): file_scan_directory() should not have a trailing slash in the dir parameter

  unanimously agreed to rollback the deletion API.  We all support the
  features this patch added, yet not its actual design and implementation.
  After some talk, we decided that it would be better for Drupal -- in the
  long term -- not to go with a solution that isn't 100%. We also recognize
  that in the short term, this patch would have been useful addition. So
  let's figure out how we can implement this properly in D7.

#152670 by myself: refactor PO generation to decouple data collection, file generation and HTTP download; fix a bug with plural exports along the way

#150521 by myself: streamline locale runtime performance and clean up code by not storing empty translations

#150554 suggested by kkaefer, patch by me: rename 'po' folders to the more user friendly 'translations' name

#118026 by kkaefer with fixes from myself: JavaScript translation support and script.js as a default theme JS file to use, if found

- Patch #115267 by drewish, dopry et al: simplified file uploads code, improved file API, centralized file validation, implemented quotas and fixed file previews.

#147640 by Jose A Reyero with further cleanup by myself: add language code to localization functions
This makes it possible to call these functions with a given language code when sending emails to multiple users with different languages in a request for example.
