Description
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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
Damn, misspelt Nikolay's name, sorry!
