/**
 * How to use gettext for wesnoth source files:
 * -# include this header file in the .cpp file
 * -# make sure, that the source file is listed in the respective POTFILES.in
 *    for the textdomain, in the case of wesnoth-lib it is this file:
 *    po/wesnoth-lib/POTFILES.in
 * -# add the following include to set the correct textdomain, in this example
 *    wesnoth-lib (not required for the domain 'wesnoth', required for all
 *    other textdomains).
 *    @code
 *    #define GETTEXT_DOMAIN "wesnoth-lib"
 *    @endcode
 *
 * This should be all that is required to have your strings that are marked
 * translatable in the po files and translated ingame. So you at least have
 * to mark the strings translatable, too. ;)
