TB is released in many languages. Fluent is a system that allows the 
foreign-language text (menus, buttons, error messages, etc) - called 
'strings' - to be maintained separately from the code and included in 
the compiled release.

It's not just words and phrases, but plural forms, genders, forms of 
address (formal vs friendly, etc).

All significant operating systems and applications have such a system. 
(Addons could do with one.)
