Turned out that raw gettext calls will return the same const char* pointer given to them if there was no translation, as opposed to different pointer if the translation was there, but same string-wise. Since i18n() uses these raw calls under the hood, by this it can check the language.


Right, that makes sense, i'll investigate.
