gettext for translation. Fairly standard choice. Strings are marked for<br>
translation by using a `_` macro, like `_("My english text")`.<br>
<br>
I don't remember the details, but it basically has something like a<br>
database of such texts and their lines with the according translations.<br>
When it needs to represent a translated string it basically does so by<br>
searching in that db.<br>
<br>
Language may be changed by different means. On Linux and Unix systems<br>
it's usually variables such as `LANG`. So e.g. `LANG=en_US.UTF-8<br>
kstars` should launch it with english language.<br>
<br>
If you have a way to switch language via interface, I presume it is<br>
handled by some gettext API that overrides whatever's being told by<br>
env. variables.<br>
