[Mageia-i18n] Translating the name of the distribution Mageja

[Firat Kutlu]

 I learned thanks to this mail that there is Esperanto language.  I read
some information about this language at google and I found very interesting
history of Esperanto language.

So, thank you ver much Michael for this interesting and nice mail.
