37    @brief Declaration of the Language and the LanguageEntry class, as well as some helper functions.
38
39    @anchor LanguageExample
40
41    The Language class is used, to get a localisation of a string in the configured language.
42    The string is identified by another string, the label of the entry.
43    If the translation in the configured language isn't available, the default entry, defined in the code, is used.
44
45    Usage:
46     - Set the entry with the default string:
47       @code
48       Language::getInstance()->addEntry("label of the entry", "the string to translate");
49       @endcode
50
51     - Get the localisation of the entry in the configured language:
52       @code
53       orxout() << Language::getInstance()->getLocalisation("name of the entry") << endl;
54       @endcode
55
56    Example:
57    @code
58    int age = 20;
59    AddLanguageEntry("user_age", "Age");
60    orxout() << GetLocalisation("user_age") << ": " << age << endl;
61    @endcode
62
63    Resulting output:
64    @code
65    Age: 20
66    @endcode
67
68    The language entry is now defined in @a translation_default.lang:
69    @code
70    user_age=Age
71    @endcode
72
73    We can add a translation for another language, for example @a translation_german.lang:
74    @code
75    user_age=Alter
76    @endcode
77
78    Now change the language in @a orxonox.ini to "german":
79    @code
80    language_ = "german"
81    @endcode
82
83    Now you will see the translated language entry in the resulting output of the above code:
84    @code
85    Alter: 20
86    @endcode
