current state of i18n

[luclu]

Investigating, tracking and structuring issues regarding the i18n translation system.

• non-persistent language selection (resets to default after restart)
  • Tapi18n cookie was removed
  • language shouldn't be stored in the scope of the meteor interface but be accessible by electron
  • lokijs and app.getLocale() looks like a better way
• splash screen always displays english strings (PR enable translations on splash screen #1749)
  • also solved 'confirmation popup always displays english strings'
• numeral.js language package was missing (issue Mist localisation is not applied #945)
• some error message in wallet logs when changing language
• pass language to webview (issue Mist localisation is not applied #945)
• i18n files (in public folder) only updater after rm -r public/i18n && meteor (that folder isn't checked out to this repo)

For some languages, let's take nl for example as for that I was testing a bit, numeral expects 'nl-nl' and is currently receiving only 'nl'. I've tried to use nl-nl but then i18next gives issues as it seems to be expecting nl.

Thank you @h3ll0fr13nd, this has been fixed in #1783 and will make it in the next release.

Ok, great! Is that in another branch than the develop? I've just cloned and run the develop branch and still got nl passed to numeral instead of nl-nl:
[2017-04-18 13:37:03.186] [INFO] ipcCommunicator - Backend language set to: nl
[2017-04-18 13:37:03.236] [ERROR] (ui: mist) - numeral.js couldn't set number formating: Unknown language : nl

Ah yes, you are right! This message appears when there is no nl config upstream. It will disappear after it has been added. As this is not really an error I raised #2154. Thanks again!
