Localisation

From OuroDev

There appear to be two bin files that control localisation of pstrings

data/bin/clientmessages-en.bin
data/server/bin/messages-en.bin

Once

\libs\UtilitiesLib\language\AppLocale.c

has been modified to stop forcing english mode, the client can be put into german or french as desired.

cityofheroes.exe -setlocale 1036
data/bin/clientmessages-fr.bin
data/server/bin/messages-fr.bin
cityofheroes.exe -setlocale 1031
data/bin/clientmessages-de.bin
data/server/bin/messages-de.bin

There is technically support for:

1337 -test (Test)
1028 -zh (Chinese Traditional)
1042 -ko (Korean)
1041 -jp (Japanese)
1034 -es (Spanish)

But these are flagged as not implemented. They might need extra work, or it might just be a case of adding the bin files and enabling them. Similarly we can probably add new languages to the table.


This is my current diff, once i've done testing on the server side i'll make a proper branch and pull request with full implementation details.
