[Owncloud] howto exclude translation, order of entries in localisation menu

[Jan-Christoph Borchardt]

Stefan, about the order: Kondou worked on the custom langue order,
which is sorted similarly to how iOS sorts languages (by usage +
target group I suppose). Kondou, where is that order determined, so
that Stefan can customize it?

(And no, the order should not be specifically customizable other than
when changing the source code itself.)

So deleting translation files is safe as all translation/string replacement, building of localisation menus etc is fully dynamic? No caching, generation of index files, etc?

>> it is desirable (for many reasons) to have localisations of user interfaces for as many languages as possible. However, OwnCloud ships with two German versions, one of them quite informal. As our installation is for "official" purposes only, the more formal version is the right choice. We already had a case where somebody (unintentionally) selected the informal setting, then shared a file by link - this could be potentially awkward: you do not see the mail template which is sent to the recipient (and it is not suitable for our purposes).
