The manual is then confusing,
because the strings inside the translate function do not look like message
id's, but rather like the untranslated text.
e.g. from the manual:
>> print $translate->_("Here is line one")."\n";
>> printf($translate->_("Today is the %1\$s") . "\n", date("d.m.Y"));That's why I tought that if a language in the local has no file associated to it, use the untranslated text inside the translate function. I didn't specify nl because the string inside the translate function are already dutch (untranslated text). So I would have a .mo file from dutch to dutch. If I'm not wrong, the manual is confusing. Sorry if I misunderstood again.
