I only know how it works in theory: In C++, you might need to add a
macro where you have defined the macro for _(), then make sure that the
script that creates the .pot catalogs picks it up. This is the tricky
part that I have never done myself - after that, you mark up the string
with:
sprintf(buffer,
ngettext("%s: %d level", "%s: %d levels", level_var),
string_var,
level_var);
or
boost::format(ngettext("%s: %d level", "%s: %d levels", level_var))
% string_var % level_var
For XML, I guess things will be more complicated.

We will need automatic line wrapping here. Probably tricky to implement
if you don't have a function for this in the renderer already.

You're welcome. Thanks for a great game!
