+// A define to allow translation of strings which must be stored in English (for instance
+// because they are used both as keywords and as messages in dialogs
+// We do not want to use the _( x ) usual macro from wxWidgets, which calls wxGetTranslation(),
+// because the English string is used in key file configuration
+// The translated string is used only when displaying the help window.
+// Therefore translation tools have to use the "_" and the "_HKI" prefix to extract
+// strings to translate
