[i18n] "Quoting" not being translated, workaround ?

[Benoit St-Andre]

Hi everyone

With a freshly updated cvs head, in IMP, there is a preference called 
attrib_text that tells IMP how to start reply lines, saying in prefs.php.dist

_("Quoting") . ' %f:',

The problem is that even if this string is well translated in the po/mo files 
(I checked in french and in spanish), it seems that the translation is not 
taken care of.

I checked some horde modules (imp, turba,kronolith) and it is one of the only 
places where a pref value is a gettext string. Kronolith also has one pref of 
that type, but it is in the event_categories and that is well translated.

I found a workaround by adding the string Quoting into the fr_FR.po of horde. 
If I understand well, it is because prefs.php files (not the config files, 
but the files that were managing the preferences screen in each modules) are 
no longer in each module but globally somewhere in horde.

Problem is that translation.php script puts the strings it finds in the config 
directory of each module in the po file of the module, not in the po file of 
horde.

I'm not sure if my explanations are clear, but since it may break other 
translations, maybe patching translation.php could be the solution (i'm not 
an expert in bash though...).
