[openlp-dev] Support multiple languages

[Nicko Glayre]

Thank you so much, that's quite an amazing news, I tried myself to work on
it and wasn't able to do it. I'll check that out and give you feedback as
soon as I can

> Since I'm not doing any database migrations the "primary language" is
> just the first language encountered and changing it doesn't actually get
> saved. (This will change in the future)

> There's still a few things concerning the editor that need to be addressed:
>
> - Not everything is translatable yet and some of the strings I used are
> subject to change
>
> - How to handle verse order (This currently only picks up the "primary
> language").

> - What language information should be stored in the database.

>     - The primary language?
>
>     - All languages so you can search by language?
>
>     - How about Titles for each language? (Other information as well?)
>
> - How to handle invalid (or unknown) language codes that are encountered

> Since the points I mentioned above need discussion, and I don't have a
> very strong opinion on them, I'm leaving them for now.

> My next milestone would be the ability to choose one language that is
> going to be presented and after that add support for two languages, ...
