It is not forbidden to have function calls in static initializers, and
such code compiles fine, contrary to claims made by the text. Explain the
real reason why wxTRANSLATE is necessary.
Replace GetString(), which always returns something (possibly the
original string) with GetTranslatedString() that returns either a
pointer to translated string or NULL.
This simplifies the code a bit, all handling of missing translations is
now done in wxGetTranslation().

The GetUntranslatedString() hack keeps a global copy of all strings, so
that it can return a const reference as wxGetTranslation() return value.
A global wxHashSet instance shared by all threads won't do, even guarded
with a critical section, because it may internally copy values on any
insert and thus invalidate pointers that may still be used on another
thread.

This keyword is not expanded by Git which means it's not replaced with the
correct revision value in the releases made using git-based scripts and it's
confusing to have lines with unexpanded "$Id$" in the released files. As
expanding them with Git is not that simple (it could be done with git archive
and export-subst attribute) and there are not many benefits in having them in
the first place, just remove all these lines.
If nothing else, this will make an eventual transition to Git simpler.
Closes#14487.

Previously, the prefix directory itself for searched for catalogs, in
addition to prefix/lang/LC_MESSAGES and prefix/lang. This never made
much sense, because only one catalog could be in such place, instead of
multiple catalogs for more languages. It also prevented successful
identification of catalog's language and didn't work with
GetAvailableLanguages().
Remove this misfeature and update the documentation accordingly. Update
OS X-specific code so that it continues to work (it previously depended
on this behavior). As a side effect, *.lproj directories are now
recognized in all search prefixes, not just in Resources.
See #12498, #15253.

The documentation incorrectly stated that the current working directory
is searched for translations. This isn't the case (and wouldn't be a
good thing to do).

Implement preferred language selection on modern systems (OS X, Windows
Vista+). User settings for locale (aka "regional settings") and UI
language are independent there and the UI language shouldn't be
determined from the locale.
Moreover, the OS provides a list of preferred languages, not a single
value (as with locale), so we should use the best language given user's
preferences and available translations. A Czech user may prefer Slovak
UI over English, for example, and we should use Slovak translation in
absence of Czech one in that case instead of falling back to English.
On Unix, locale is language and so things remain as before.
Notice that calling wxLocale::Init(wxLANGUAGE_DEFAULT) does the right
thing now: it sets the locale to whatever the user has configured in
regional settings and loads translations corresponding to default
wxTranslations language, which is determined as described above.
Previously, UI would be translated using a language corresponding to the
regional settings.

This is mainly necessary in order to be able to commit the subsequent changes
to this file as otherwise the commit is refused by the svn post-commit hook
that checks for _T() presence.

Use "wxWindows licence" and not "wxWidgets licence" (the latter doesn't
exist) and consistently spell "licence" using British spelling.

Instead of calling back into wxTranslations to actually load the data,
return wxMsgCatalog instance from
wxTranslationsLoader::LoadCatalog(). This requires making wxMsgCatalog
public.

size_t should be used for size of objects, which wxGetTranslation() and
wxTranslations::GetString() 'n' argument isn't -- it's just a regular
integer.

To make the code more manageable, intl.h now contains wxLocale and
translation.h all translations-related stuff (wxTranslations, _() etc.).
Code generated by genlang.py was moved into its own files (language.h,
languageinfo.cpp).
