Since READ_*() macros are now exported, do not hide the if() continue; statement in them. Wrap WRITE_STRING() instructions in a safer do {} while (0).

Translators create a translation by creating the appropriate .po file in the /po
directory. Please see the gettext info pages for an overview and instructions.
Basically: Add your language code to the   ALL_LINGUAS=   line in configure.in,
then get started translating the strings in your ??.po file.
Note: The strings for debug output is intentionally not marked for translation.

To update a specific translation, one may use make update-po PO=[lang]  (ie. make update-po PO=fr).

To update all translation files, use make update-po.
You should only use it when needed (before a release or when there were many
changes in source code).



Helper scripts:

gen_translations_stats.sh	generate statistics about translations
regen_potfiles.sh		generate a patch to sync POTFILES.in with current source files
