This translation has to deal with handling of plural forms which is a
tricky part of internationalization, but we are not going to complicate
things in our code and will offload the headache to translators (they
will have to invent a single message for all numbers).
Serving the language list as a JS file rather than JSON simplifies
a few things:
- cacheid management;
- having to manually delay the UI initialization until the JSON file
is loaded.
static/skin/languages.js must be generated/updated manually by running
the static/generate_i18n_resources_list.py script.
This is a quick workaround (at the expense of data duplication) for
having to generate the i18n data in JSON format from the embedded i18n
resource data.
Note, however, that at this point i18n resources are not included in
the list of regular static resources. This will change in the next
commit.
