Support for Turkish locale

[Phil Race]

This is a localisation issue (not internationalisation issue as Alan 
suggested).
but the bottom line is whilst many locales are supported that does not
mean that user interface messages are translated into all those locales.
There's a huge cost issue behind that. There was an openjdk project to
add Brazilian Portugese localisation and if Turkish is important then
something similar would need to be done there. But it implies an ongoing
commitment to update those messages and test them and that's a cost too.
