Language resource file updates

[Glen Mazza <gl...@gmail.com>]

Hi Team, we have language files in our JIRA for French (ROL-1430) and 
Korean (ROL-1649), they're dated around Roller 4.0 but probably much of 
it is still good today, plus since they have so many speakers there's a 
good chance we can get updates for them if we distributed them with 
Roller, I'd like to add those in.

However, to keep resource file management reasonable (work is needed on 
them--a lot of no-longer-used keys need removal) and to help keep the 
Roller WAR lean, I'd also like to pull out three resource files--Danish 
(5.6mil speakers), Slovenian (2.5mil), and Icelandic (330K) -- they just 
don't have enough non-English-knowing speakers to warrant maintaining 
their files. Java devs from those lands are long accustomed to reading 
documentation and running software in English or another major language 
as only a small fraction of material is available in their native 
tongue, or otherwise still prefer the English UI as it is more 
productive to google the English-language error messages to get answers 
to problems that pop up.

No other resource file we have[1] has fewer than 20 million native 
speakers, so the rest look good to keep.  WDYT?

Regards,
Glen
