-Internationalization Lib for Minetest
-By Diego Martínez (a.k.a. "Kaeza").
-Released as WTFPL.
-
-This mod is an attempt at providing internationalization support for mods
-(something Minetest currently lacks).
-
-How do I use it?
-In order to enable it for your mod, copy the following code snippet and paste
-it at the beginning of your source file(s):
-
-	-- Boilerplate to support localized strings if intllib mod is installed.
-	local S
-	if minetest.get_modpath("intllib") then
-		S = intllib.Getter()
-	else
-		-- If you don't use insertions (@1, @2, etc) you can use this:
-		S = function(s) return s end
-
-		-- If you use insertions, but not insertion escapes this will work:
-		S = function(s,a,...)a={a,...}return s:gsub("@(%d+)",function(n)return a[tonumber(n)]end)end
-
-		-- Use this if you require full functionality
-		S = function(s,a,...)if a==nil then return s end a={a,...}return s:gsub("(@?)@(%(?)(%d+)(%)?)",function(e,o,n,c)if e==""then return a[tonumber(n)]..(o==""and c or"")else return"@"..o..n..c end end) end
-	end
-
-You will also need to optionally depend on intllib, to do so add "intllib?" to
-a empty line in your depends.txt. Also note that if intllib is not installed,
-the S() function is defined so it returns the string unchanged. This is done
-so you don't have to sprinkle tons of 'if's (or similar constructs) to check
-if the lib is actually installed.
-
-Next, for each "translatable" string in your sources, use the S() function
-(defined in the snippet) to return the translated string. For example:
-
-	minetest.register_node("mymod:mynode", {
-		description = S("My Fabulous Node"),
-		<...>
-	})
-
-Then, you create a `locale' directory inside your mod directory, with files
-named after the two-letter ISO Language Code of the languages you want to
-support. Here's an example for a Spanish locale file (`es.txt'):
-
-	# Lines beginning with a pound sign are comments and are effectively ignored
-	# by the reader. Note that comments only span until the end of the line;
-	# there's no support for multiline comments.
-	Hello, World! = Hola, Mundo!
-	String with\nnewlines = Cadena con\nsaltos de linea
-	String with an \= equals sign = Cadena con un signo de \= igualdad
-
-Since there's currently no portable way to detect the language, this library
-tries several alternatives, and uses the first one found:
-  - `language' setting in `minetest.conf'
-  - `LANG' environment variable (this is always set on Unix-like OSes).
-  - Default of "en".
-Note that in any case only up to the first two characters are used, so for
-example, the settings "de_DE.UTF-8", "de_DE", and "de" are all equal.
-Windows users have no `LANG' environment variable by default. To add it, do
-the following:
-  - Click Start->Settings->Control Panel.
-  - Start the "System" applet.
-  - Click on the "Advanced" tab.
-  - Click on the "Environment variables" button
-  - Click "New".
-  - Type "LANG" (without quotes) as name and the language code as value.
-  - Click OK until all dialogs are closed.
-Alternatively for all platforms, if you don't want to modify system settings,
-you may add the following line to your `minetest.conf' file:
-	language = <language code>
-
-Also note that there are some problems with using accented, and in general
-non-latin characters in strings. Until a fix is found, please limit yourself
-to using only US-ASCII characters.
-
-Thanks for reading up to this point.
-Should you have any comments/suggestions, please post them in the forum topic.
-
-Let there be translated texts! :P
