[support] Translation strings not found

[simone-www.io-lab.org]

Being Italian myself coding a Spanish page with an English interface aaarrgh ;)
Anyway i usually prefer to have an English interface cause that s the
way i am used to and all the tech stuff is in English.
That said I am now installing Drupal in Spanish so it gets easier to
deliver a Spanish page to an only Spanish speaking customer.
