Link to comments in default i18n theme are not fully localizable

[RanYanivHartstein]

The i18n theme in the polyglot repos does not support translation of the
string "Comments Closed" in comment links.

The comment link function looks like this:

<?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments &#187;', 'kubrick'), 
__('1 Comment &#187;', 'kubrick'), 
__('% Comments &#187;', 'kubrick')); ?>

To allow localization of the "Comments Closed" string, it should look (for e.g.) like
this:

<?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments &#187;', 'kubrick'), 
__('1 Comment &#187;', 'kubrick'), 
__('% Comments &#187;', 'kubrick'), 
_c('comments-link|HTML class for comments link', 'kubrick'), 
__('Comments Closed', 'kubrick') ); ?>

These functions appear in index.php, archive.php and search.php. More information about the comments_popup_link function is available in the codex:

I included a patch to fix the comments links in the above files. Patch also adds an HTML class for the comments link, but this is not required and not related to the issue mentioned above.

Patch to allow localization of "Comments Closed" string in default i18n theme

Fixed in revision 4118 of wordpress-i18n.

I didn't add the CSS class, because most of the translators won't need to edit the CSS.
