Manage localization on module install (import locales first, default language)

Currently, when installing new modules we first run the install script, then we do the locale import (see system_modules_submit())

But some modules need to create strings in the database when installing, like a content type or an input filter. So we'd need:

- To load the translations before running the module's hook_install()
- To do the installation using default language, so strings are created consistently in this language (even if the admin is using the module admin page in a different language)

    Wonder after so many years and the current state of the langue module if this is still needed?

    As the original reporter... though this has never actually been addressed, there are so many changes in the install system - like new strings being created mostly through configuration system - that this is not important anymore.

    So, closing it for good... unless, of course, someone wants to start working on it after these 14 years (!!) :)
