Field references not resolved in localized hints

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a hint to some UI field.
2. Localize the hint so that it's available in multiple languages.
3. Put a field reference in the hint.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect the field reference to be resolved. Instead, it shows as ${0}, ${1}, etc.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Following is the fix.

In core/src/org/javarosa/form/api/FormEntryPrompt.java's getHelpText():

        try{
            if (textID != null) {
-               helpText=localizer().getLocalizedText(textID);
+               helpText=substituteStringArgs(localizer().getLocalizedText(textID));
            } else {
-               
helpText=substituteStringArgs(((QuestionDef)element).getHelpInnerText());
+             helpText=substituteStringArgs(((QuestionDef)element).getHelpInnerText());
            }
        }catch(NoLocalizedTextException nlt){
