[Cuis] Multilingual applications in Cuis

[H. Hirzel]

P.S. The idea of having a special message to mark strings which you
might want to be available as translated strings is useful


>From the Squeak implementation

String>>translated

translated
	"answer the receiver translated to the default language"
	| translation |
	translation := self
		translatedTo: LocaleID current
		inDomain: (TextDomainManager domainOfMethod: thisContext sender method).
	self == translation ifTrue: [^self translatedInAllDomains].
	^translation


However your implementation might be different.

Having a string in a domain means that ambiguities may be avoided.
