*fixed issue with unpublished categories showing up

*And more!

Just 2 annotations:

1. how many times are you defining '_tsl________'
2. could your language vars be 'more multilingual' > maybe by using %s sometimes

1) That was an accident, I was just copying and pasting those to save time and I must of left those in there.
2) I'm not sure how to do that. This is the first time I have done any type of translation so any advice would be helpful.

What else do you think of the component?
