[NUUG fiksgatami] [patch] Small update to the norwegian fixmystreet translation

The code is currently under CVS and I plan to move it to a public repository
under GitHub once I find some time :)

There are still bits of quirkiness in the workflow that needs to be hashed
out. What you've encountered is an issue on my plate to be fixed. If you try
'Velachery' and 'latha' as area/street names and choose 'latha street' from
the options, then you can proceed to file the issue.

Regarding changes that were made to the codebase, below are few notable
ones.

1. Support for lat/lon rather than easting/northing
2. Google maps integration (albeit static - hopefully will move to dynamic
maps with reverse-geocoding sometime soon)
3. Integration with backend online complaint management systems

Cheers,
Selvam
