Credits page: Have 'Get involved' Codex URL localizable

[xibe]

Currently, the Credits page features a link to ​http://codex.wordpress.org/Contributing_to_WordPress, which is all fine and dandy, except for those folks who can't read English.

For those lucky enough to have a translated documentation available online, I suggest we let the URL be localizable by translators.

[xibe]

Damn, misspelt Nikolay's name, sorry!

[zeo]

I assume there's no localized URL for ​http://wordpress.org/about/?

See: 17480.diff

Minor update to xibe original patch. Also:

• whitespace cleanup
• NCR

[xibe]

Thanks zeo.

WP.org is not translatable, so ​http://wordpress.org/about/ and ​http://wordpress.org/license/ are out of reach.

[zeo]

xibe, you're right. I refresh the patch and add changes to /wp-admin/freedoms.php too.

[zeo]

i18n update to xibe patch.

In [17960]:

Allow Codex URLs to be translated. Don't offer wp.org/about/ URLs for translation. props zeo, xibe. fixes #17480.

I think it is better in cases like this to translate the urls separately because:

• It makes the strings simpler to translate if there isn't a codex url to update
• It doesn't break the translations for everyone who isn't going to translate the codex url
• It makes the translation of the url re-usable in more than one place - ensures consistency.

In [17967]:

Move the codex link into a seperate translation so you don't have to translate it if you have not got a version in your language and you only have to translate it once. Fixes #17480

Sure, the thinking makes sense, but for consistency, this should be applied to all Codex links in the POT (80-ish, if I'm not mistaken), starting with all the ones tied to contextual Help tabs, like:

<a href=\"​http://codex.wordpress.org/Posts_Categories_Screen\" target=\"_blank\">Documentation on Categories</a>

It would be better, sure. But as a translator, I will curse you for making me re-link to all the 80-ish localized Codex pages :)

I think we should do this going forwards for new links and go back and change the existing ones early in 3.3.

Fine by me.
