v0.15 String Freeze - Time for Translations

If you are interested in translating Flare, now's the time! There will be no string changes between now and the v0.15 release (coming soon).

Take a look at Flare's github page, inside the mods folder. Each mod can contain its own translation. Here are the five main translation files:

• mods/fantasycore/languages/engine.pot - UI text. If you can only translate one file, I suggest putting a priority on this one. If players can read the basic UI they can at least play some of the game.
• mods/fantasycore/languages/data.pot - Core data text. Second highest priority translation file, though it's a big one (lots of item names, in particular!)
• mods/frontier/languages/data.pot - Proper names and a small amount of quest text for the overworld areas
• mods/averguard/languages/data.pot - Text for the Averguard Keep quest area
• mods/living_bones/languages/data.pot - Text for the Living Bones quest area

Flare uses a simplified subset of GNU gettext, where only simple msgid, msgstr pairs are used. Take a look at existing translation files to see how it works.

Thanks to everyone who is helping translate!
