[Kimchi-devel] [WIP V2][PATCH 3/3] Add JS API for fetching i18n JSON

[shaohef at linux.vnet.ibm.com]

From: ShaoHe Feng <shaohef at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Create an API for fetching the i18n JSON.
Use the API to load the kimchi UI strings.

API will need to be simplified after convincing CherryPy to respond to the reque
st for JSON.
