Customized welcome message causes error in rev 1.10 for languages different from English. #1481

Description

@hsaelens

In revision 1.10, when using a custom welcome message using web.repositoriesMessage = ${baseFolder}/welcome.mkd the main pages fails to load with the following messages in the log:

[ERROR] Can't instantiate page using constructor public com.gitblit.wicket.pages.MyDashboardPage()
org.apache.wicket.WicketRuntimeException: Can't instantiate page using constructor public com.gitblit.wicket.pages.MyDashboardPage()

Caused by: java.util.MissingResourceException: Unable to find property: 'gb.failedToRead' for component: [class=com.gitblit.wicket.pages.MyDashboardPage]
at org.apache.wicket.Localizer.getString(Localizer.java:344)

This happens if users choose a language different from English.
The solution is to copy (or translate) the welcome.mkd file to the other language too. So copy welcome.mkd to welcome.cs.mkd, welcome.de.mkd, and so on.

This was not needed in 1.9.3. In that revision if the translated welcome message did not exist, welcome.mkd was used.
