nirenjan 57f7758dd1 x52test: Check device type during reset 
Prior to this change, x52test would always assume that the device was an
X52Pro when resetting the device state. This change fixes that
assumption by checking the feature flags, since only the X52Pro has LED
support.

This change also updates the translation files due to the automatic
update because of line numbers being changed.

Saitek X52Pro joystick driver for Linux

This project adds a new driver for the Saitek/MadCatz X52 Pro flight control system. The X52 pro is a HOTAS (hand on throttle and stick) with 7 axes, 39 buttons, 1 hat and 1 thumbstick and a multi-function display which is programmable.

Currently, only Windows drivers are available from Saitek PLC, which led me to develop a new Linux driver which can program the MFD and the individual LEDs on the joystick. The standard usbhid driver is capable of reading the joystick, but it cannot control the MFD or LEDs.

Most of the extra functionality can be handled from userspace. See the individual folders for README information.
