/*
* Native Language Support
*
* The general idea is that any string that should be translated is handled
* as follows:
* _("string")
*
* Static strings are special, obviously and must be flagged as follows:
* static str = N_("string");
*
* And wherever they are used:
* _(str)
*
* Every file where there are strings needs:
* #include "gettext.h"
*
* Remember to mention each of these files in "po/POFILES.in"
*
* The main() needs a locale_init() and a gettext_init() in the beginning.
*/
/*
* General translation notes:
* Commands/options are not translated
* Debug messages are not translated
* Panic/fatal (that should not happen) messages need not be translated
