This folder contains language files for the mini-gettext environment (see include/mgettext.php for the runtime, _m()).

The files are GENERATED by php misc/mgettext/cli.php, which extracts _m() messages from the sources and preserves existing translations.

The xx-utf8 files are the translation masters — translate there (right side of =>). One-byte-charset variants (cz, sk, …) are derived from them by charset conversion; do not edit them. The derived files are written as pure ASCII (\xNN escapes), so no editor can corrupt them by resaving in a wrong encoding.

Blocks inside a generated file:

• Runtime-translated messages — values of _mdelayed($var) calls (role names, metabase column names, …); loaded at runtime although no _m('...') literal matches. Domains: $RUNTIME_MESSAGES in cli.php.
• Unused messages — commented out, not loaded; the generator revives a translation automatically when its message returns to the sources.
• Regular entries, each preceded by // file, row N source locations.
