Greek translation team for K2 at Transifex

A while ago K2 has moved the maintenance of the various translations files to Transifex.

I recently applied for the creation of the Greek team at Transifex, where I currently coordinate. I did manage to upload many of the .ini files of the last Greek translation I made for K2 (v2.3), but there are still many strings to be translated.
