Bug Description

Hello,

As far as I know, OSIS files always contain English book names. Importing OSIS files consequently means that the book names are in English, even though the bible version does not necessarily to be English.

Solution 1:
Display/Import the book names in the language the bible is in. This will only affect OSIS files.

Solution 2:
Use the application language as book name language. This is a more "global" attempt.

We had that whole update to the way the books of the Bibles work, but if that particular language or translation does not have names associated with it, it will simply use the English ones. Perhaps we need to manually import some of the books into the built-in database?

I guess, this comes quite late, but in fact the book names are not directly linked to the language, but rather to the translation. So much people which are used to work with Luther are not able to name the third book of the Tora with the Lathin name, while others which work more with the Einheitsübersetzung might have to think twize until they are able to associate Leviticus with the 3. Mose. Therefore the only full valid solution would be to assign the book names at import time.

I prefferd solution 2 because it seems to be more global and I remember there was a request from a japanese which want to use english book names always (http://openlp.org/forums/openlp-20/feature-requests/search-bible-verse-with-3letter-book-name) - this is easier to do with solution 2.

But after your request I thought about adding solution 1 additional. Then you could choose a global language selection and for every bible you want you could change this selection. We could extend the meta information of the bible with the tag "Language selection" and also add a possibility to customize the book names of every bible. But that will take some time.

In a first step I commit solution 2 because it's almost ready. In a second step I will try to implement solution 1.
