FreeOrion includes support for multiple languages. As we approach 1.0, translations will become an important part of the project. During the earlier stages it is not so critical, as much of the game content will change.
Anyone interested in adding support for another language can do so with these steps:

- Edit this file, and create the translated entries
- Select your new stringtable file in the Options menu
That's it!
