Profession names refactoring.

Now profession name has 2 contexts: profession\_male, profession\_female. You need to translate both names even it’s a same in your language.  
And profession description text has 2 context too: prof\_desc\_male and prof\_desc\_female.

Messages in newchar -\> Profession is changed.  
“Profession %1$s earns %2$d point” -\> Profession name in this message is printed already in gender context. Keep in mind this.  
Same thing for “Press %1$s to switch to %2$s(female).” So it’s very likely that you don’t need to translate male/female words in this message.

Motd and credits can be translated.

data/en.motd - is English template.

When you translate this file put new one in to data/motd  
Filename should look like that "ll\_LL.motd"  
For example French: fr.motd. or Chinese (Simplified) zn\_CN.motd

Same for credits.

I need to setup Language option to your language(not system) to see result.
