Mockup of a possible implementation for Item Types

Since descriptions of item types and authorized values are stored in the
database, there is no way to translate them. This creates a problem if the
descriptions in the database are in one language but your user has switched to
another.

I propose that we add a language column to the itemtypes and authorised_values
tables. For existing installations the existing data would remain with an empty
"language" value, and this option would be displayed by default. If a library
adds a set of language-specific translations that set will be displayed when
that language is chosen.

I think the entry form would not require extensive updating, but the display of
existing values in Administration might. I'm thinking that each language's
values might be displayed in a separate tab. See the attached mockup. The tabs
could be displayed based on enabled languages.
