+I18N
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+We support i18n (gettext anyhow) in the library.
+
+However many messages come from the daemon, and we don't translate
+those at the moment. One reason is that the appliance generally has
+all locale files removed from it, because they take up a lot of space.
+So we'd have to readd some of those, as well as copying our PO files
+into the appliance.
+
+Debugging messages are never translated, since they are intended for
+the programmers.
