Sure you can!
But how is it implemented? I didn't look at the code yet. In other
words, is there a function, the key must go thru in order to be
translated or is this done transparently hidden for the frontend? In
this case I guess we only need to set the language. In the other case we
need to integrate that translation function before we give the key to
the sword module.

We probably should design cbackend a bit as a container for options and
give a reference (or pointer) to it to each module. So the modules can
get language info, color info etc. from cbackend and don't need to
access the config files themselves. Could speed the process up a little
bit. And cbackend would serialize the info from the modules and write to
the config file what's appropriate. Just a thought...


To see you at work is encouraging!
