1) Introduction
	
	Language files are stored in the "/lang" directory with the naming
	convention "LANGUAGENAME/*.txt".  These files are plain text files with one
	string definition per line with the format: 
	
	"Original string" = "Translated String"
	
	The supplied English language is a complete listing of all of the strings used
	throughout the software with empty translated strings.
	
	Software's translation functions will ignore empty and missing
	translations.  For example, if a template uses the string "Hello World", and 
	in your language file you have:
	
	"Hello World" = ""
	
	The software will display "Hello World" (and not an empty string).  Likewise,
	if your language file has no entry for the string "Hello World", the software
	will still display "Hello World".

2) Creating New Translations

	Creating a new translation is as simple as copying the default 
	English language folder to a new folder named, for example, "mylang".
	After you have copied the English folder, open language.txt (and otherfiles)
	in your favorite plain text editor and simply supply the translations on
	the right hand side for every string.
	
	Remember, you aren't required to provide translations for every string; 
	The software will still display the original English for strings that you
	don't translate.
	
	
3) Modifying Existing (English) Translations

	To modify a translation, you simply have to put your strings on the right
	side of a equal sign (=). Original strings (on the left) have to match strings
	found in templates. So, for example, if you wish to call a Department "Category",
	locate that word in language file and trnaslate it with a different word.
	
	Change:
	"Subscriber" = ""
	
	To:
	"Subscriber" = "Client"
