Localisation update, translations for Thorium 2.2

Dear contributors, Thorium 2.2 will be released around November 7, it has some new features that require translation.

Following is an extraction of the changed and added values, you can get a similar but in context view of changes in the reference file en.json with the following command line : git diff v2.1.0:src/resources/locales/en.json develop:src/resources/locales/en.json

All features can be tested in the latest continuous test builds.

1 Change: More info becomes Book details

In the Book information panel (About this book), the More info section is now titled Book details wich correspond better to it content.

Accessibility information

A set of Accessibility metadata presents in epub files is now displayed. This information should not be translated word for word, expressions with meaning in local culturs should be priviliged.

This two lines are labels for the corresponding buttons placed at the bottom left of the book browser window.
