additional strings for 2.2

As mentioned at Release Meeting, there are some last-minute-strings to translate (24 phrases in svx/source/dialog). Pavel has uploaded new pot file for m199, containing these strings. Warm winter in Europe doesn't let UI strings freeze.

changed strings in m199

Exactly two weeeks before translation deadline we have a lot of changed UI strings in upcoming m199 (about 150 as far I counted). Mostly these are about interface for selecting default language(s) of extensions. Strange only, that now we have already 3 identical sets of these language name strings in different modules...

Windows Hen

Despite all checks MS made when choosing name 'Vista' they missed Latvian language. In Latvian 'Vista' means 'hen'. Looks like Latvians have good ground to check all incoming copies of Vista against salmonella-virus and maybe even apply additional taxes to price of Vista as this may be a food product coming from non-EU country.
