@@lang =

There are better ways to extend a translated string, but I keep the ‘wild-card’ for historical reasons.

.trl(t, warn = true) ⇒ Object

Translate a string to the currently set langage. If ‘warn’ is true (default), a missing translation provokes a message on STDOUT, indicating the string that needs translating.
