/**
    @file Language.h
    @brief Definition of the Language and the LanguageEntry class.

    The Language class is used, to get a localisation of a string in the configured language.
    The string is identified by another string, the label of the entry.
    If the translation in the configured language isn't available, the default entry, defined in the code, is used.

    Usage:
     - Set the entry with the default string:
       Language::getLanguage()->addEntry("label of the entry", "the string to translate");

     - Get the localisation of the entry in the configured language:
       std::cout << Language::getLanguage()->getLocalisation("name of the entry") << std::endl;
*/
