+.SH THE TRANSLATION TABLE
+.PP
+To assist with localizing reminder files, \fBRemind\fR maintains a
+table of translations.  This is simple a lookup table that maps one
+string (the original string) to a new string (the translated string.)
+When \fBRemind\fR starts executing, the translation table is empty.
+.PP
+To add a message to the translation table, use the \fBTRANSLATE\fR
+command (which may be abbreviated to \fBTRANS\fR.)  The \fBTRANSLATE\fR
+command must be followed by two quoted strings, separated from each
+other and from the command by whitespace.  For example, a Dutch
+language file might contain something like this:
+.PP
+.nf
+        TRANSLATE "New Moon" "Nieuwe maan"
+        TRANSLATE "First Quarter" "Eerste kwartier"
+        TRANSLATE "Full Moon" "Volle maan"
+        TRANSLATE "Last Quarter" "Laatste kwartier"
+.fi
+.PP
+To actually use the translation table, make use of the \fB_\fR built-in
+function, as follows:
+.PP
+.nf
+        REM NOQUEUE [moondatetime(0)] MSG [_("New Moon")] (%2)
+        REM NOQUEUE [moondatetime(1)] MSG [_("First Quarter")] (%2)
+        REM NOQUEUE [moondatetime(2)] MSG [_("Full Moon")] (%2)
+        REM NOQUEUE [moondatetime(3)] MSG [_("Last Quarter")] (%2)
+.fi
+.PP
+By using \fBTRANSLATE\fR and \fB_\fR judiciously, you can make your
+reminder files easy to translate.
+.PP
+\fBTRANSLATE\fR has three additional forms:  If it is followed
+by \fIone\fR quoted string instead of two, then \fBRemind\fR deletes the
+translation table entry for that string.  If it is followed by
+the keyword \fBDUMP\fR, then \fBRemind\fR dumps all translation table entries
+to standard output.  And if it is followed by \fBCLEAR\fR, then
+\fBRemind\fR deletes all of the translation table entries.
