     initialization.
 
     Here is an example which should make it more clear: suppose that you have a
-    static array of strings containing the weekday names and which have to be
-    translated (note that it is a bad example, really, as wxDateTime already
-    can be used to get the localized week day names already). If you write:
+    static array of strings containing the names of chemical elements, which
+    have to be translated. If you write:
 
     @code
-    static const char * const weekdays[] = { _("Mon"), ..., _("Sun") };
+    static const char * const elements[] = { _("Hydrogen"), _("Helium"), ... };
     ...
-    // use weekdays[n] as usual
+    // use elements[n] as usual
     @endcode
 
     The code wouldn't compile because the function calls are forbidden in the
     array initializer. So instead you should do this:
 
     @code
-    static const char * const weekdays[] = { wxTRANSLATE("Mon"), ...,
-    wxTRANSLATE("Sun") };
+    static const char * const elements[] = { wxTRANSLATE("Hydrogen"),
+    wxTRANSLATE("Helium"), ... };
     ...
-    // use wxGetTranslation(weekdays[n])
+    // use wxGetTranslation(elements[n])
     @endcode
 
     Note that although the code @b would compile if you simply omit
     wxTRANSLATE() in the above, it wouldn't work as expected because there
-    would be no translations for the weekday names in the program message
+    would be no translations for the element names in the program message
     catalog and wxGetTranslation() wouldn't find them.
