Credits are no longer translatable #133

Use of the CREDITS file as a single place to store the credits is handy and
convenient, but the credits are always displayed in English when shown
in-game now.  

BlackJack also pointed out a downside to this method; anyone capable of
editing a text file could edit the credits and distribute FoFiX under false
pretenses.  However, that doesn't mean I want to go back to hard-coded
credits again, that was a pain to manage...

Possible to encrypt the CREDITS file in some manner that would still be
easy for us to view and edit but tough for those without the proper editing
tool and encryption key?

I have to disagree with the usage of an encrypted file:
1) it's a free/libre software, if someone wants to mess with the code/CREDITS,
there's always going to be a way;
2) it's a pain to manage and put in place, i'd rather not do that.

I suggest we use different files for different languages with an extension that
corresponds to the 2-letter ISO code (e.g. CREDITS.fr, CREDITS.pt-br, etc.) and
fallback on CREDITS if the localized file does not exist.

While looking at the credits for Issue 451, seems you could just use a dict with
string keys for the lines that need translation (basically the headers) and 
escape
them with some other character. This seems like it might be a pain for adding
tutorials in (as they have text that needs translating with them - they would 
need to
be in the dict), but otherwise maintains the manageability of the CREDITS 
format.
I'll check it out.

That's Issue 461, and r832 should take care of it.
