Euphoria 4.0 actually has language translation include in the standard library
now as well as number/currency and date translation.

english.lng
-----------

hello Hello
world World

slang.lng
---------
hello What's up
world dudes

myprog.ex

include locale.e as l

l:lang("english")
printf(1, "%s, %s!", {l:w("hello"), l:w("world")})
l:lang("slang")
printf(1, "%s, %s!", {l:w("hello"), l:w("world")})

Output:

  Hello, World!
  What's up, dude!

Language files can have multi-line messages as well as contain codes that will
go along with printf/sprintf.
