    Description

      Since Moodle 2.0 is going to be a major release, I suggest a break in the backward compatibility of the English language pack (wich is not backwards compatible anymore anyway).
      All strings, not used in Moodle 2.0 should be removed, so the initial translation for a new language pack is less work and less threathening then the + 10k strings there are now.

      The other language packs will keep on being backward compatible due to the orphaned function in lang.php
