The filter configuration data as generated in modules filters
(org.openoffice.TypeDetection.*) generates a single file that contains all
translations of translatable UI-names. This does not play nice with language
packs. For proper language pack support language-specific strings must be put
into a separate file per language.

As a consequence of this, only languages that were supported (and fully
translated) at the time of the initial build are supported by the product.
Adding a language after the initial release or beyond the set of supported
languages leaves filter names untranslated. Additional minor problems are that
too much data is installed and parsed for supported languges (i.e. data for all
languages is installed even for a single-language install) and that patching
l10n-bugs becomes more difficult and intrusive.

Suggested solution: The language-neutral files which are installed with the
respective filters to configure them should only contain the language-neutral
UI-Names. For fully translated filter names these files should contain the en-US
version for use as a fallback. Language-specific data should be collected into
one file for each language (but containing data for all filters). This mimicks
the way data is distributed into multiple files in module officecfg. The
language-neutral, per-module files are installed into share/registry/modules (as
they are now), whereas the language-specific files are installed into
share/registry/res/<language>.
