Dialog translation support / String consistency

[sairuk]

Future state thought

Refactor the dialogs to source a strings file at the top of each script that will not only provide string consistency, reducing duplication but will also permit sourcing translations based on the $LANG or similar env vars.

something like

_CONFIG=/opt/retronas/dialog/retronas.cfg
_LANG=/opt/retronas/etc/lang/$LANG.string

rn_tcpser() {
source $_CONFIG
source $_LANG
dialog \
  --backtitle "${RN_TITLE}" \
  --title "${RN_TITLE} ${RN_TCPSER} ${RN_MENU}" \
  --clear \
  --menu "${RN_IPADDRESS}: ${MY_IPS} \
  \n
  \n${RN_PLSOPT}" ${MG} 10 \
  "01" "${RN_MAIN_MENU}" \

where

/opt/retronas/etc/lang/$LANG.string would look like

RN_TITLE=RetroNAS
RN_TCPSER=TCPSer
RN_MENU=menu
RN_IPADDRESS="My IP addresses:"
RN_PLSOPT=Please select an option
RN_MAIN_MENU=Main Menu

Very high on my want list. Being English-only is a real problem I feel.

Goes for the Wiki too.

Once this is in, ping me for a German translation.
