Language screenshots

The purpose of the project is:

drive a browser
take a screenshot of a screen - in multiple languages
crop the screenshot - so only relevant part is left
upload the screenshot to Commons
- testing: commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org
- production: commons.wikimedia.org

At the moment it is used only in Help:VisualEditor/User guide, but the same concept can be applied to other tools as well.
