removed old TODO
added a way to get locale messages.  also, refactored things so that all methods in BasePage and its subclasses are classmethods.  that part might've been a bit waste of time, but so it goes.
beginnings of localization
more specificity on (only current) locale name
first bit of working i18n in angular
ng-i18next became ng-i18next-0.2.6, latter got added to the repo, former didn't get removed, fixing that now
but adding back a symlink for ng-i18next
