Morpho

The changes have been included in Morpho's trunk and a few enhancements have also been made:
-singleton pattern
-load multiple bundles (in the case of plugins)
-more graceful error handling

added Spanish and Portuguese bundles now.
Mark is keen on Japanese - suggested contacting Akiko.

Added Japanese (after much wrangling to get the Unicode as ASCII). Turns out there's a wonderful utility called "native2ascii" that does just that. phew!

Asked Akiko to review the latest installer with Japanese: http://bespin.nceas.ucsb.edu/downloads/morpho-1.8.1-language.exe
http://bespin.nceas.ucsb.edu/downloads/morpho-1.8.1-language-mac.jar

Also a French bundle included.

This is excellent, Ben. We need to be sure to add the collaborators who helped with internationalization and with the translations to the list of contributors in the splash screen and in the README file. Also, it would be worthwhile to have an identified contact for each language who can help with maintenance of that language pack. I will try to identify someone from here in Brazil for the Portuguese version.

this has been released as 1.9.0

Original Bugzilla ID was 5037
