/* N_ marks its argument, a string literal, for translation, so that
   it is extracted and added to the translation database (similar to
   the _ macro above).  It does not translate the string at run time.
   The first, primary use case for N_ is a context in which a string
   literal is required, such as an initializer.  Translation will
   happen later, for example using the __gettext function.

   The second, historic, use case involves strings which may be
   translated in a future version of the library, but cannot be
   translated in current releases due to some technical limitation
   (e.g., gettext not being available in the dynamic loader).  No
   translation at run time happens in such cases.  In the future, this
   historic usage of N_ may become deprecated.  Strings which are not
   translated create unnecessary work for the translation team.  We
   continue to use N_ because it helps mark translatable strings.  */
