[Cuis] Multilingual applications in Cuis

[H. Hirzel]

Hello  Germán

I think for your project a Cuis only solution is probably fine. It is
about managing strings and their translations. To do this in Smalltalk
for a small number of strings (let's say less than 500) is relatively
straightforward.

Squeak has an interface to the GNU Gettext PO (Portable Object) file
format. If you do not need this things become simple.

You may maintain the content in code.
