Issue 16: Translations of the default priorities and status

Reported by Loïc d'Anterroches, Aug 10, 2008

I need to find a smart way to allow people to see and input the 
status/tags in their own language but store in the DB in English.

The easiest implementation would be to compare the input with the 
_("...") versions of all strings, or create a lookup 
table.

pseudocode:
$status=array();
$status[_("status1")]="status1";
$status[_("status2")]="status2";
...
and then write $status[$inputvalue] to the DB.

I guess the hard part of this is that the values are user-definable, 
and there you'll have the problem that custom values would require 
translation in the first place.
But the concept would be the same, no matter if the translations 
come from gettext or the DB.
Though, if the translations are in the DB, it might be possible to 
handle that in the INSERT/UPDATE queries with some clever 
sub-querying.

Description of status should be translated too. For example, when we 
enter a status, a popup window appears to list them:

Type:Defect Report of a software defect
Type:Enhancement Request for enhancement
[...]

The part "Report of a software defect" is not made 
translatable in the file 
http://projects.ceondo.com/p/indefero/source/tree/develop/src/IDF/For
m/IssueTrackingConf.php#L51 :

const init_predefined = 'Type:Defect          = Report of a software 
defect
Type:Enhancement     = Request for enhancement
[...]';
