i18n and Unicode support #4

At the current time this is not too much of a concern for me, but it's something to be aware of during the coding process.

Does xmpp send associate languages with IDs? If so, its be nifty to respond to specific user stuff in their language. If not, we should set a global default and room-specific language.

I'm not too familiar with i18n. Will need to do more research. Assuming its a bit more than an array of strings. Also, RTL?

XMPP uses the xml:lang attribute. You might examine the stream to see if cadence, pidgin et al are using that.

And yeah, i18n is basically an array of format strings that get passed through something like printf to insert variables.

There's some more complex grammar stuff like plurals. This is only an issue with big and widely translated projects though.

I'm going to spin this off into sub-issues to make things more organised.
