Need to complete localization of text throughout the app

[monfresh]

There are still many places where text can and should be localized so that it can more easily be translated in non-English deployments.

To fix:

• Find text that can be localized (such as notices, error messages, button text, labels, help text, etc.)

• Copy and paste it into a new entry in config/locales/en.yml and use keys that relate to the text. For example, if you're localizing a button, add a new buttons key, and then a separate key that describes each button, such as:

  buttons:
    add_new_location: 'Add a new location'

• Replace the text in the code with a reference to the localization by using the t helper, like this:

  t('buttons.add_new_location')

  If you're not in a view template, you'll need to use I18n.t instead of the t shortcut.

I've wanted so badly to contribute to something open source. This feels like low hanging fruit that I can handle. I'll take a stab at this and submit a pull request. Thanks!

@tannerj Great! Thanks for doing this.

No problem, I'm working on it now. A few questions.

• Do you want to distinguish between navigation and buttons? (i.e. navigation.edit_account and buttons.add_new_oganization)
• If a navigation link is repeated in the admin and developer sections (i.e. "Edit account") do you want them namespaced and repeated (i.e. admin.navigaiton.edit_account and navigation.edit_account)? I'm going to start with only navigation and buttons and submit that as a pull-request to make sure we are on the same page. If that looks good, I'll continue hitting the labels and messages.

[monfresh]

Those are good questions. I think distinguishing between nav and buttons is a good idea, but repeating the same text is probably not.

@monfresh Pull request #360 is my first take at adding I18n. Please let me know if there are any issues. If not, I'll get started on form labels, error messages, etc.

Just a quick update, I haven't abandoned this. I've been on vacation/out of town constantly for the last 3 weeks, I'm hoping to spend some time on this over the next week. Sorry for the delay.
