We prefer global setting to site setting in `app/model/global_setting.rb`. Am I right here? @riking

We seed the db based on locale only at the first time. The next seed won’t create or update seed topics. But if you recreate from backup, the topic won’t change because it’s already seeded.

Default categories name doesn’t respect the locale setting. `db:migrate` migrates the db before invoking the block so `I18n.t` takes no effect when creating the categories. @neil
