+RoundUp Internationalization (I18N)
+
+To use this module, the following code should be used:
+
+    from roundup.i18n import _
+    ...
+    print _("Some text that can be translated")
+
+Note that to enable re-ordering of inserted texts in formatting strings
+(which can easily happen if a sentence has to be re-ordered due to
+grammatical changes), translatable formats should use named format specs:
+
+    ... _('Index of %(classname)s') % {'classname': cn} ...
+
+Also, this eases the job of translators since they have some context what
+the dynamic portion of a message really means.
+
+"""
+
+# first, we try to import gettext; this probably never fails, but we make
+# sure we survive this anyway
+try:
+    import gettext
+except ImportError:
+    # fall-back to dummy on errors (returning the english text)
+    _ = lambda text: text
+else:
+    # and for now, we JUST implement the dummy in any case
+    _ = lambda text: text
