- Patch #30984 by webchick, keith.smith, kkaefer, Crell et al: provide descriptions for permissions on the permission administration page.

Translating menu items and taxonomies is not a core feature, so do not mislead users. Noticed while translating to Hungarian.

#204946 by theborg, keith.smith: only tell users their language setting will be used for interface presentation, when this actually happens

#206232 by chx with a bit of cleanup: add in-memory reset clearing to locale() to help it interact with simpletests, which are not reloading the Drupal instance on form submits

#205334 by hass: if more then 5 languages are available, use a dropdown not a radio button list (usability)

#189880 by keith.smith based on initial suggestions from O Govinda: much better help texts and descriptions for locale module, actually explaining its extended feature set in Drupal 6.

#200069 by keith.smith: new standard for 'more information' links in module help texts, as the handbook we referred to before was renamed

#193905 report by greggles, patch by myself: the user account page changed language to the last language set up

#175876 by hazexp, webernet, keith.smith: unify module/theme/translation download links and include more pointers to these locations

#194595 report by hass, patch by myself: native language name is required, so we need to fill it in the updates - also omit it in user listing if the same as the translated language name

#186977 by openwereld: LIMIT on locale module UPDATE query is not needed and is even not PostreSQL compatible, so remove

#184867 by deekayen, catch and keith.smith: fix some spelling errors in our source code and messages printed

 - always prune the whole cache as string additions affect all languages
 - rebuild the language caches as needed, distributing this load among page requests

#169079 by yched: improve consistency of menu API and batch API by allowing batch definition in non .module files, which opens the possibility of better performing batches (which are likely to reside in .admin.inc files generally)
 - apply this change in locale.module
 - improve batch API code documentation

#171646 by JirkaRybka: store version usage information for every source string, optimize caching and prune the initially unused strings

 - make searches work again, better worded
 - do not cache English stuff
 - fix strike through on string seek page
 - fix exports for translations

#82499 by Jose A Reyero and a little bit from myself: send emails localized in the language needed in specific situations, and centralize mail composing operations with hook_mail()

#141996 by Jose A Reyero and myself: translation block to switch interface languages by default, and even content languages, when a translation module provides the alternate links

#154064 by pwolanin: get hook_help() up to speed to menu changes, allowing router path based lookups, and also full path argument lookup with a passed argument array

  Let this be the day where we help revolutionize the online society, and the
  way websites and web services interoperate.  Or something.

#150521 by myself: streamline locale runtime performance and clean up code by not storing empty translations

- Patch #115267 by drewish, dopry et al: simplified file uploads code, improved file API, centralized file validation, implemented quotas and fixed file previews.

#147640 by Jose A Reyero with further cleanup by myself: add language code to localization functions
This makes it possible to call these functions with a given language code when sending emails to multiple users with different languages in a request for example.
