Feature card 19: Interface strings

Text: Kolofon

Some strings do not come from the content: the install button, the feed label, the message about no entries, the footer line. As long as one instance existed and it was Polish, they could sit written into the code and bother nobody.

With the first foreign-language site it showed at once: an English site with a Polish button and a Polish footer. The strings therefore moved into a separate set, which an instance supplies whole or corrects point by point, leaving the rest at defaults.

This concerns tone as much as language. A photographic site asks "Rate this frame", a technical one "Did this entry make sense?" — the same place, two different sentences, no change in the engine.
