Also, probably a locale problem, but when users earn their badges, they are sent a message with the English title of that badge, despite the forum otherwise using Finnish locale.

Notification is, for example: “Ansaitsit ‘Reader’” (You earned ‘Reader’). In other places this badge is named in Finnish “Lukutoukka”.

(Maybe this message should be moved to locale/translation area…)
