Great work, thank you.

Just to understand this right; if I, as a developer, add a new English 
string, then it will show up as English string in all the national 
language versions until it gets translated, right?

Is it good practice to do things like

String message1 = tr("No luck today.") + " " + tr("Try again.");
String message2 = tr("Busy with other things.") + " " + tr("Try again.");

instead of

String message1 = tr("No luck today. Try again.");
String message2 = tr("Busy with other things. Try again.");

assuming that the former would lead to less work for translators?

Also: Can we somehow get rid of that ultra-stupid message: "Unable to 
find translation for the locale: English (United States) reverting to 
English." that is printed to the console on startup?

Bye
Frederik
