Requirements

Technicalities

• provides a javascript function "eztranslate" to translate texts.
  This function can be used by developers in any template they want
  (as long as they do not forget to include the "parts/tsengineload.tpl" template first)
• uses ezjscore for translation calls, thus avoiding saame-origin ajax limitations
• by default adds interface elements ("translate" links) to the "translate content" page
  This happens for designs admin, admin2, ezwebin
• translatabale datataypes: string, text, image (the ALT tag), keywords
