Actually, if something had to be done with regard to translations, what
do you all think about making something with hash tables, to speed up
fetching translated strings ? Even if strings are not used *that* often
per frame, games with a huge text database would suffer from the current
way it's done (in a config file). Do you think this could be done ?
