Support for Turkish locale

[Naoto Sato]

As Phil said, Turkish is not in the "User Interface Translation" list 
that Oracle JRE provides 
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/locales-137662.html#translation). 
So you won't see FileChooser UI texts in Turkish even in Turkish locale.

The second issue you raised is a bit different. I'd expect to see 
Turkish if you provide your own properties file. Please check if there 
is any errors in your program. At least I see that you are using 
"string1/string2" keys with ResourceBundle.getString() method, while 
your test_tr.properties has "test1/test2" keys.
