Adding new languages requires too much work

[Honza Pokorny]

Right now, we have to create at least two patches for each new language that becomes available: one to update the tripleo-ui itself, and one to update the defaults in the puppet code. This is painful and takes a long time.

It would be better to automatically detect new languages and make them available in the GUI.

    Automatically enable all available languages

    Right now, we have to create at least two patches for each new language that
    becomes available: one to update the tripleo-ui itself, and one to update the
    defaults in the puppet code. This is painful and takes a long time.

    This patch turns things around. Instead of specifying which languages should be
    available, we automatically load all of them, and provide users with a way of
    disabling some of them should they need to. When a new language is imported
    from the translation team into our code, there is no work necessary.

    This is accomplished via Webpack plugin which reads the i18n/locales directory,
    parses the data, and generates a Javascript file with the necessary imports and
    other useful objects. The "languages" setting in the config file is changed to
    "excludedLanguages", and it's a simple list of language abbreviations.

    Futhermore, this patch adds a simple script that verifies that all available
    languages are properly enabled i the constants file.
