On the contrary, i18n should be done with config files. The format
string is the key to the actual string which is located in the
file/dict. Otherwise you're shipping separate source files for each
language -- blecch.
The program that's intended to be internationalized is written using
"programmereze" strings. That's a strange inhuman language that's only
approximately comprehensible by the developer and close associates.
Then that gets translated into a bunch of language-specific config
files, with English probably being one of them.
