Separate language files

Initial approach to separate non-default language files

[holtkamp]

A problem is that the language files as loaded by $.ajax should be located relative to the HTML page (and not relative to the .js file) that uses the functionality, so using relative URLs will be a no-go... 😞

maybe we can setup browsersync (https://browsersync.io/) for gulp in development phase.
so there is no problem with ajax.

@mazipan I don't see how this circumvents the problem?

Suppose I have a webpage, which references to the JavaScript files on CDNJS:

• http://www.domain.ext/project/page.html
• https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-date-range-picker/0.14.4/jquery.daterangepicker.min.js

Then the English translation file will be loaded relative to the .html page, so from:

• http://www.domain.ext/project/locales/en.json

Instead of:
https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-date-range-picker/0.14.4/locales/en.json

We might be able to circumvent this by introducing a configuration option basePath that a user has to point to https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-date-range-picker/0.14.4/, but I think that is a big disadvantage / not worth it...
