+//description:
+//
+//The engine supports translating by gettext compatible .po files.
+//progs.dat uses progs.dat.<LANGUAGE>.po
+//menu.dat uses menu.dat.<LANGUAGE>.po
+//csprogs.dat uses csprogs.dat.<LANGUAGE>.po
+//
+//To create a string that can be translated, define it as
+//  string dotranslate_FILENOTFOUND = "File not found";
+//Note: if the compiler does constant folding, this will only work if there is
+//no other "File not found" string in the progs!
+//
+//Alternatively, if using the Xonotic patched fteqcc compiler, you can simplify
+//this by using _("File not found") directly in the source code.
+//
+//The language is set by the "prvm_language" cvar: if prvm_language is set to
+//"de", it will read progs.dat.de.po for translating strings in progs.dat.
+//
+//If prvm_language is set to to the special name "dump", progs.dat.pot which is
+//a translation template to be edited by filling out the msgstr entries.
