Developer discussion for Creative Commons technology and tools

Sorry for the delayed reply.

We recently overhauled the translation system.  Unfortunately I think
the js widget strings may have gotten dropped (partly I think because
we've thought that the js widget has gotten little use in recent years,
but maybe that is wrong).  I can look at adding them back, and it's
possible to re-code them in from the git history, but it might take a
while till we can get to it...

Made an issue for it in our bugtracker!
