1.4 - Localized admin?

As some of you are probably aware, the 1.2 branch (and hence 1.4 branch) currently do not support admin panel localization.

There have been numerous discussions about including it into 1.4, but so far it hasn't made it.

The original argument against it was because 1.4 is meant to be a quick and easy upgrade from 1.2, and changing the whole admin panel would require extra work for end users, however like normal it has got a bit carried away and has had far more work done than originally planned, making updating using hdiff not really viable anyway. It can also be argued that mods would require extra work updating them to support the changed admin panel, but at most this will be a couple of strings moved into language files and worst case, the mod uses hard coded strings as before.

Since we have had quite a few requests to include this, we are opening this up for discussion. We are now leaning towards including this, especially since all the work has already been done, but would like to get the communities input before doing so.

PS. Yes I'm aware 1.4 is in feature freeze technically, but since this has been strongly requested it may be worth breaking the rules...
