Hi Wayne-

I only added Italian and French as they were the two listed on the 
Upgrading website [2].  However, looking it appears that the bug was 
fixed by Dick in 25b65b2e3b9c349cde33dbc59d62be284c287694 on Mar 19, 
2013.  At that time, the translations database was at 
cc2022b1ac739aa673d2a0b7a2047638aa7a47b3 and only had translations for 
layer names in French, Italian and Polish.  While there were other 
languages, they didn't have translations for names like "F.Adhes".

I've added polish to the list and pushed the patch.  If we find 
additional translations due to some mismatch in translation database vs. 
code database, we can add them to createOldLayerMapping()
