Dynamic loading of locale files breaks Translator plugin

The new Counter plugin dynamically loads locale files to support drop-in additio…n of new COUNTER reports. https://github.com/pkp/ojs/blob/ojs-stable-2_4_8/plugins/reports/counter/CounterReportPlugin.inc.php#L40-L51 The Translator plugin assumes that a call to a plugin's `getLocaleFilename()` will return an identically ordered array of locale files, regardless of which locale is selected. As a result, if a plugin returns a variant set of locale files (ala Counter) the Translator plugin returns an unhelpful error "The locale file '' is missing or unreadable." Perhaps all plugins' `getLocaleFilename()` should return an identically ordered array of locale files, based on the reference locale, regardless of whether the locale files exist in the selected locale. More likely, the Translator plugin should allow for variant locale files lists.

There is a patch here:
