Description : modular LaTeX string localization system
The translator package is intended to provide an open platform for
packages that need to be localized. Unlike the babel package (which
can and typically will be used together with translator), the set of
words that can be translated is not fixed and new words and
translations can be added in a simple manner. New translations can be
added in a decentralized manner. The package is written in completely
LaTeX and it is quite lightweight. It could very easily be ported to
plain-TeX or ConTeXt, provided there is a "public demand" for this. A
typical application of this package is the beamer class, which already
uses it, if it present. Then words like "Theorem" will be translated
to "Satz" if the document language is German, for instance.
